Problem is that it is more bloat for a UConn program losing big money, and it still means the head coach is responsible for establishing dollar value efficiently - like a GM. GMs in the pros have that responsibility, have huge staffs and have more job security than most coaches. Alabama can hire 5 of these guys, but Saban will still be king for as long as he’s around. How will Mora establish value for NIL payment? That is all analytics when it comes down to it. The days of scholarship-only football is going to look more and more appealing to some of these known control freaks. I don’t think Dabo is looking at what’s going on at Texas and feeling good about Clemson stock. With the money they are raising, they can buy half of Clemson’s team if they wanted. Teams that can set huge flat NIL dollar amounts from commercial sponsors then augment with whale donors are going to be in the CFP year-in, year-out. It is pro football and GMs will be named, paid and empowered. Just another point that separation is coming. BC and Cuse aren’t going to be swinging this. [/QUOTE]
