Message: [QUOTE="WhereistheDove?, post: 5159995, member: 1109"] Makes zero sense under the current model. The schools aren’t the ones paying the players (technically) and I think most of these deals are year to year, where the protection of a buyout is of little value. When they move to a new direct pay model, I’m not opposed to it as long as the players have proper representation when negotiating the contract. Of course, in that scenario, the NIL/other compensation payer would likely be paying more up front to compensate for the protection they get in a buyout. Buyouts are not just a given in coaching contracts. They’re negotiated and provide value to each party. [/QUOTE]
