$15,000 per month is going rate for OL

this. with as much money as presidents, head coaches, coordinators make, seems pretty unethical that players don't get a slice of the pie. I have no issues with the persons producing the product having a share of the revenue. problem is current system and decision makers (ncaa) are garbage. there's 1000 different ways to structure this whole thing better, with great ideas out there (making NIL receipients pay their own tuition and athletic association funds going to real student athletes). but to keep interest in the game, there's got to be some sort of salary caps etc to keep parity. eventually even the factories will figure this out when it's the same 4 teams playing for MNC year in and year out and rest of county loses interest.

Can coaches contribute to the NIL collectives now?

You know damn well that mutt player who backed out of the FSU deal got a higher bid (under the table, of course) that he was promised by FSU. Georgia is obviously immune to any NCAA investigations, or they would have been given the death penalty years ago. What they are doing to FSU now is similar to their treatment of Tech in 2009.

He probably got a higher bid over the table because that's totally legal as long as a coach isn't there, and FSU are just dumbasses for not figuring out the appropriate protocol.

If the kid caught an Uber to his NIL meeting then FSU would be clear.

With a smaller fan base we can't win the money game without mega-donors or growing the fan base. So what's the theory of success for Tech in the new college football?

In my opinion donating to an NIL collective is just throwing money away unless all you aspire to is a moderately successful, consistently 7-8 win program. We might be able to buy that.

Buying our way to the CGE is the new way, get with it or go elsewhere.
