I heard we were getting close to 4 from revenue sharing. If that’s the case it’s more than enough for this year specifically and that’s not a funding problem.
Yeah, that’s last year’s number. And as you know, the goal was to double that 2 to 2 1/2 million. A confidential survey of which I’m sure not every school responded to show the ACC is having an average NIL of 4.1 million per team. So 4.55 would put us just inside the top half. The SEC was at 7.1 while the Big Ten and big 12 at about 5.4 and 4.4 respectively. So we’re behind a lot of schools not just in the ACC but across the country. So NIL will play a role into what coaching candidates will see as you as a strong option. We will be looked at as a good opportunity by some, but not all. It would be nice if some big donor stepped up and helped almost double that again. Heck a number of schools were over 10 million including some of the ACC. It’s too simple to say hire the right coach. Maybe that right Coach is fine being middle of the pack NIL but it sure would help to be able to open up that aperture.
Every school’s getting that though. Every school gets a maximum of 20 million. And the general thought is schools are going to put 70 to 80% into football and then about 15% towards basketball. With the rest being split up by all the other sports. So it’s pretty much a wash amongst all schools when you talk about the revenue sharing. The differentiator will be NIL.
Not every school was giving as much to bball as we are. Last I knew we were giving 1.5-2 million more compared to other schools.
I don't know, but if true that would put us at about 25% which is huge but hurts the football team.
Actually, it's exactly that simple.
No one is making excuses for Red. That ship has sailed and it’s time for a change.
Yeah, that basically the way it works now in most cases. Coaches don’t take a gig if they don’t think the money is there to compete.
Unless the high profile dad is on board with the hire.
Making excuses = rationalizing that we don't have enough resources, so we can't succeed...
Ok. Peace.,
This is my exact problem with these threads. Maybe we don't have enough NIL to be a top 5 team, maybe not even a top 25 team at this point. But we certainly have enough to make the tournament with the right coach. We need to stop making preemptive excuses and use our strengths to attract a high quality coach and go from there. LGO!
You disagreed with anything in my last post?
Agreed. But it can’t come with any catches.
Seriously? Olympic curling is on.
You’re talking like people are talking all or nothing. Nobody is doing that. Nobody. But your acting like nil plays no role. It plays a role and could narrow the field for us. Doesn’t mean we can’t get a good coach who can turn this thing around but it could sure narrow the field. You keep twisting what people are saying.
Just looked into Calhoun tonight and he interestes me a good amount. Basically Olen with an East Coast background. Consider me intruiged.
Please demonstrate how I'm acting like nil plays no role.
