So when does the NCAA crack down on football analysts?

At this point, the big schools are for all intents and purposes circumventing the rules and adding extra position coaches that work with players even though they’re not supposed to. They’re supposed to just “coach the coaches”

For example, Georgia just hired Muschamp as an analyst with a 300k salary...

They won't. Because it's not a good look to limit employment opportunities.

Unless it's for baseball coaches.

They should just allow a coach for every position+ PGC and a similar position on defense and be done with it.

C'mon man. This is The Rant. You know it is supposed to be "for all intensive purposes."

In what way?

A couple of years ago I think they went as far as they are willing to go with some limitations.

Namely by limiting who could be in the booth and how many headsets they had. Which primarily limited "game day" coaching, or was the intent.

As for preventing the circumvention of the rules already in place, such as actually coaching players there's not much they can do. NCAA has a fairly finite description of both what constitutes "practice" and "coaching".

Inside the Ops Building, once you get off the practice field and/or game field, there's not much they can do. Is reviewing your own stick-figure stop-motion practice video in the ops building coaching? No- it's not an opponent (game planning), it's not on-field, and technically you're not "instructing" the player, just reviewing film.

Side Note: that's why you are seeing more and more closed practices. If an analyst is reviewing anything in real time, on the practice field, you are at risk. Even if within the bounds, a picture of an analyst on the field at the same time as a player(s) is risky.

At one time Bama had upwards to 75 analysts. Prove me wrong.

Way overdue IMHO. That this was allowed in the first place is surprising to me. The costs of big time college programs are already way out of control. Always hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube but man this got out of hand quick and I would have no issue if the practice was phased out.

Pennies compared to what schools make when they win. Your school wins and you get an influx of money from on field bonuses and more students nationally applying to come. Teams are now working with departments on campus to always be ahead of the arms race.

It’s a worse look to do away with coaching limits and allowing Big schools to have 40 coaches while small schools get fricked.

it's going to happen - I was just talking about that with my buddies.

It's just a matter of time. The big-revenue schools can afford to do it and the smaller ones can't. I'm all for the free-market, but in competitive sports, you need to have an equal playing field (pun intended).

Analyst restrictions won't help us, but I can see it happening, sooner rather than later.

If they wanted to crack down on the analyst situation they could put in a rul where the analysts can't be on the sideline or booth during games. For guys that aren't supposed to "coach" they sure do get plenty of involvement on the sidelines every Saturday.
