There's about one coach in the Big East who should be making two or three million a year, but if the rest of them want to overpay, I'm sure they can find the money.
I'd love it not to be the case, but the network money train isn't going to be there the next time the power five conferences revisit their deals in the mid-2020s. ESPN is their cash firehouse and ESPN is bleeding to death.
When that happens, they're not going to shrug and just take less - they'll look for other sources of revenue and the billion dollars they're splitting with the smaller conferences in basketball is going to be the low-hanging fruit.
