Thought exercise while we wait for coordinators

Correct. I was just pointing out that NIL is not a salary. You had questioned how salaries can be capped. Because it's not a salary, a salary cap is inapplicable.

To your point, the current Market is the question. Because NIL is so new, we'll have to see how the Market develops.

By definition, “the market” is whatever someone willingly pays.

The quickest and easiest way to make college football more equal, is go down to 75 scholarships and cap the number of analysts the same way they cap the number on-field coaches.

They NCAA has no authority to cap salaries. It will never happen.

The quickest and easiest way to make things more equal is to apply the rules equally to everyone. I don’t get why everyone keeps skipping past this. New rules are pointless if they are implemented by the same corrupt people who already pick and choose who they police and who they leave alone.

That’s like saying the easiest way to get out of debt, is to curb government spending. It’ll never happen. The NCAA is as corrupt as the federal government. They aren’t gonna hurt their cash cows. The best thing you can do is make small changes while giving the power to the states. In this case it’s NIL.

Correct. And markets always adjust. The newness of the NIL means that the market is being established, unless they're simply going by the pre-NIL clandestine market. I'm curious to see how things develop.

Then why do we keep talking about something that’s never going to happen? You can change whatever rules you want, if the game is rigged, it doesn’t matter what the rules are. Small changes are t going to make a difference.

Same here. I have a feeling that thirsty fan bases with ungodly amounts of alumni money are going to continue to be willing to pay whatever it takes. When they’ve tasted some success, and some other team becomes thirstier, then some other team will set the bar higher. If history has shown us anything, the sums of money contributed to breads and circuses only increase and never decline, until the fall of the empire.

I am also curious to see if some alumni and/or organizations become gun shy regarding putting out big money. In some cases, the money gets limited return, as in D. King (injured) or Q. Ewers (bounced). Then you have others where there is immediate ROI, like B. Young (Heisman, appearance in NC game).

I think that’ll be the case, but not at Baga, and not at places like T A&M, and Texas, and the like who are desperate for a title after long droughts. I think a program like Clemson who’s enjoyed a nice run and become complacent will just see the money dry up until they get desperate again.

The same will happen to us, frankly. Hopefully this current momentum builds into something real, but I have no doubt that after a few years of success, entropy and complacency will take its toll on the enthusiasm, once again reducing inputs into the program and slowly lowering our annual ceiling for success, until we find ourselves back here again. Hopefully, that day is far, far off, but it is inevitable - like gravity.
