We are about to see a gulf between what coaches can be offered to coach in the B1G and SEC versus anywhere else. There is now way he could turn down a gig at one of those schools if they came calling in the near future.

Why not? Are there not human beings who have values that supersede money?

Fewer millions here, more millions there. . . . I hope there are men and women who evaluate differently other than just dollar amount.

You'd recommend your kid turn down a million to play for 1/20th of that somewhere else? I'd recommend he have his brain examined if he did that. Isn't there a point where you'd be stupid not to take the money?

I thought the post you quoted was about coaches, not players.

It depends on values. What's important to him. My god, money means so little in the overall scheme of life on our Earth. JMHO. Your opinion is what is is.

We are talking about a lot of money. To say that someone who takes the choice of economic security is selfish or lacks values might be taking it a step too far.

You can make a case that Lance Leipold is the best X’s and O’s Coach in college football. I thought Michigan State would have scooped him up.

It would be interesting if the NIL $ would have to be reported because there's so much bs out there. I was told KU doesn't use any NIL for incoming freshmen. Also heard A&M didn't end up paying what they promised, so a ton of players left, but now a bunch more are going there. There's no structure or rules. Seems a little out of control.

I agree with this. It's the young folks that think you always chase the dollar IMO.

That's not what I read there. Some people go into careers where they might make less money but be more happy than other higher paying fields where they probably would be very successful. People can have differing values while still having values. The post you quoted didn't say anything about no values nor did it say anything about selfishness.
