Whats the difference when coaches change schools and they chasing the fat contracts

The argument is that the players aren't professionals.

But, let's be real, before NIL, they already were working as if they were professionals, just weren't getting paid like it.

Comparing coaches to players is a horrible, and dishonest argument.

It’s like a meme someone reads that they think sounds cool, so they screenshot it and send it to all their friends, but its really stupid.

A coach’s career can last 50-plus years. The average coaching tenure at a school is around 5 years, longer than the average college player’s career.

Are you suggesting that Brian Kelly leaving Notre Dame after 11 years is similar to a college football player leaving after 1?

And coaches have contracts with buyouts and other provisions that can restrict them. They can be fired.

College eligibility is based around the average time to get a degree. Transferring should be discouraged as it generally comes with a setback academically.

At some point, the adults need to run the place.

Are kids that take woodshop in high school gonna want pay for their time building theater props and shite like that.

I’m so tired of people claiming that 18-22 year olds deserve the same treatment as coaches. The trickle down is that Hs athletes should go to whatever local school they want. Follow coaches, right?

The difference is coaches are paid professionals.

Yep, if they are NIL deals, I think scholarship should be off the table too, just NIL and build your team. They can also talk to people not in the portal.

Coaches are under contract.

Those contracts are broken every year

Not without some sort of penalty usually.

Players aren’t under contract.

There needs to be limitations.

Either you can receive NIL money at your current school or you can enter the portal. Once you do one, you can’t do the other.

Alternatively, “someone” can pay your school 500k to buy you out.

You can hire a coach any day out of 365. When a player leaves, how much time does the coach have to replace them?

frick the current system and the pretense any of these kids are “students.” The NFL should be forced to create a minor league.

they were bringing in the money of major college football players,

Do the players bring in money or does the TEAM bring in money?

There needs to be a strict time period for when players can transfer. Like the Sunday after conference championship games til whatever the late signing period date is. And you can only transfer once without sitting out a year. The system in place now is a disaster.
