Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5153743, member: 21"] I don't think it's they don't want to get with the NIL thing. We're fortunate that all our players returned, we had a great 2024 class and picked up some good portal fits (let's not bring Mahaney up in this thread please). Many coaches both young and old are getting burnt out having to spend so much time and mental & emotional energy having to recruit their own players, HSers and portal transfers and drumming up NIL and just don't want to do it anymore. I'm sure it must take a huge toll on their family life. Something has to change or more and more coaching carnage will follow. We're on top now which probably helped building our roster, but as much as I wish this will never end for our beloved Husky program, there will come a time when our program wrestles with this unless there are some changes, such as contracts that specify a number of years a player has to stay w/ maybe some buyout clause when they take a NIL deal. Maybe some sort of cap, though not sure how that would work. Pro leagues use salary caps and/or monetary attempted deterants when teams go beyond certain dollars, but that doesn't seem to stop some big spenders from outspending their competition. Just not sure if what we have now is sustainable where eventually the playing field will be reserved for the top donor programs...not that it hasn't pretty much been that for quite a while as long as those programs have good coaching. Some can spend all they want and still suck! [/QUOTE]
