Most certainly opposed to NCAA capping or controlling anything. I say let the free market reign without abandon. Let these athletes earn their true market value. Let the highest bidder win.
The NCAA , coaches and universities have cashed in billions of dollars off the back of “student athletes” without compensating them for their true market value.
College sports is a jacked up mess.
I doubt he gave up his buyout. I’d guess that was negotiated before he resigned.
Playing the NIL game the first couple of years was fine, but to do it every single year now and dealing with those agents. That’s just not what these coaches signed up for 50+ years ago. It’s not just adjusting. It’s a whole different world now. Not sure how enjoyable college football or basketball will be if we have new guys every season.
He’s 75 - convenient out 
Yes it’s out of control and we all know that - even if you do contracts imagine the legal folks you’ll have to bring on to maintain things such as incentives
He blames NIL for players transferring.
Last year his team finished 15-17.
Last season, out of his (5) starters, 4 were from his Final Four Team
*Nigel Pack
*Wooga Poplar
*Bensley Joseph
*Norchad Omier
So he had a core returning. They struggled badly last season, so Omier, Poplar, Joseph transferred
NIL i do think is a problem. Guys getting paid 500K-1M, im sure its difficult to coach, if they’re not performing to your expectations
Really good coach…it sucks it ended like this for him
Why do you call him a puss. I can certainly understand his reasoning and the NIL killing college sports. There will come a time when the fans get fed up as well and I’m getting closer.
ROTFLMAO, this dude made 10s of MILLIONS of dollars off players. He is gonna be just fine.
I don’t think it is NIL that is killing college sports it is the unlimited transfers.
I used to be excited about seeing players develop. Now, who gives a rat’s azz who is wearing a Houston Cougar uniform, they more than likely won’t be there.
The only thing that could possibly save college athletics is if the NIL contracts are for four years. That way a player is more ir less licked in OR at least you get compensation for a contract buyout if he moves on. A school that signs a freshman and develops a freshman should have control or be compensated.
This current system is absurd.
10000% Agree!
10000% Agree!
UH Law School?
To be fair, you’re not out there coaching and you don’t see how hard the current landscape is. I’m not a coach either so it’s hard to say but I know my company moved from slack to teams about 6 months ago and it’s ruining my life! So I can imagine a drastic change in how your job functions can make some people struggle.
there is no system thanks to the federal courts.
This. I’m sure the NCAA would like to set up some guardrails but they will probably get sued if they tried anything. If I were them I would try to put this back on the individual conferences.
There have been talks about creating a collective bargaining arrangement, where an entity represents the players and the NCAA would be the other party. It is still in the conceptual stage, but that seems to be one of the few ways to control the mayhem and satisfy a court challenge. You still have to overcome issues such as the NCAA not recognizing that athletes being paid, for all intent purposes, are employees of the university, or at least independent contractors, and then you have the issue of athletes who opt-out of any collective bargaining arrangement and how you treat them. Then comes the obvious court challenges.
NIL contracts with buyouts. Crazy transfers will be limited.
No doubt. Some maybe playing for the next NIL deal and not part of the TEAM. That has to hurt old school coaches.
Yeah playing the world’s smaller violin. Sorry but I am sick of old dudes complaining about the free market. Can’t take the heat then get out of the kitchen. All of these people whining about NIL would never give up their salaries. So he needs to shut up.
Sounds like an excuse more than a reason. Fact is, NIL is the great equalizer and many of these HCs at “Big Time” programs, especially in the South, are coming to the realization that their schools and alumni were not as well off as they thought. That may or may not be the case for Miami, but it is for a lot of these SEC and ACC schools.
From what I could find, he is walking away from a lot of money, privates don’t have to divulge any financial information on salaries, etc. He should be commended for resigning and not just collecting a paycheck for the next couple of years. First Bennet at Virginia and Larranaga. I think we will see more.
