Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5698717, member: 628"] The "candidate [X] demands [Y] NIL guarantee or he won't consider the job" stuff cracks me up. SU is committed to funding the full $20.5 million allowed for school's to directly pay players. SU has committed 25% of that to men's hoops, a share that most Power 4 schools are also committing. SU is asking donors to fund that player compensation money. Every dollar on top of that is NIL, and *that* is the responsibility of the incoming head coach. Now, he'll get loads of assistance in raising whatever NIL funds he needs. But that's on the HC to orchestrate. Red did an exceedingly poor job of that in his first 2 years as HC. Whomever the new HC might be - Hodgson, Hopkins, McNamara, Zombie John Wooden - [I][U]their[/U][/I] responsibility is to get the total player compensation budget up to ~$10 million next year. [/QUOTE]
