Ok, I’ve been perusing through this thread the last few days and I’m not sure anyone has pointed out the elephant in the room.

So, what is that, you ask?

Ok, while everyone debates who should be the next coach and where the money is coming from to pay players (by the way, the term should be Play for Pay instead of NIL, but that’s insignificant), we’re missing the bigger picture.

This isn’t sustainable. Play for Pay (PFP) can’t last as it’s currently structured. Ok, maybe it can survive at some of the elite schools, the wealthy programs from the Big 10, SEC, Big 12 and ACC, but even that’s not a guarantee. It’s a matter of time before the money train dries up. Many schools can’t continue to expect donors to keep funding their programs with little in return. It’s okay for a few years, but then donor fatigue becomes real,

The richest schools will manage..They have their bottomless donors, huge alumni bases and massive TV contracts. But for the schools next in the pecking order, life isn’t so grand. A school like Syracuse finds itself scrambling for money to appease potential coaching hires. It’s not sustainable. It’s a money race that many schools can’t win.

We all want a winner now. We want to return to our glory years. We want someone to come up with the money to make it possible. But at what price? And when does it end?

We can try to satisfy our craving in the short term, but is it really sustainable?
