For example, instead of paying a head coach 20 million, pay 5 million and buy a team with the remaining 15 million.

It ain’t as much about X’s and O’s as Bobby’s and Joe’s.

I feel that there will be a slow creep towards an equlibrium...Coaches gauranteed salaries will go down, their performance based incentives will increase...Players guaranteed money will increase and include performance based incentives as well.

All that said, the Nick Sabans & Kirby Smarts of the world will still make top dollar....In the words of the great Flavor Flav via the great Katt Williams "They gotta pay me Boi!!!"

There is more money in college sports. Private schools do not have to disclose what they pay.

I know I am old school but that makes me sick what has happened to college sports. I am ALL for people making the jack in their profession and if I saw this in front of children monies that excelled, I.e. Tech companies or other that created something unique etc I am all down with that but not for folks in college.

In Boone the cars would be Subarus and Jeeps.
