Are we better off going cheap with HC salary and then instead put the money instead into NIL? Obviously not direct from the school but a good amount of that money used to pay the HC comes from indirect sources.

IMO HCs are waaaay over paid. I don't think there is much of a difference between HC #15 and HC #60. So why are schools forking over all this money to HCs who are not difference makers?

IMO you have great HCs, real good HCs, decent HCs, avg HCs, poor HCs, bad HCs, and complete mess HCs. The lower the salary the quicker we can move on from the last three. The first two aren't staying here long so there is no reason to pay a lot. A decent HC might leave if you pay less than market rate. But an avg one won't have other offers.

I rather have a decent HC over an avg HC but all things being equal there won't be much of a difference in record between the two. But with more NIL money the avg HC's record is likely better.

I thought of this because of Dabo. If they had a HC for $5.5M it would open up $5.5M to use elsewhere. Even if only half that trickles down to NIL, isn't a $5.5M HC with $2.75M more in NIL just as good as Dabo? And in our case isn't a $2M with $1M more in NIL better than a $4M HC?
