[GT65_UGA89]

“Coach Belichick, we haven’t met. Let me introduce myself, names Mayhem, Mister Of … perhaps you’ve heard, I over saw the biggest rebuild in college football history. Heel up, let’s go!”

Official deal is actually 5 years, and not 3. Based on Belichick’s history, I’m sure he’s already got 30+ Portal prospects he’s calling by tomorrow morning. Obviously his son (current DC of the Washington Huskies) will be a part of his staff like he was in New England. Will be interesting to see who else joins him.

Belichick returns to coaching, this time at UNC

Calling him a "football legend" who will ensure "Carolina Football can evolve, compete and win," North Carolina named Bill Belichick its new head football coach Wednesday night. The sides agreed to a 5-year deal, pending approval from the UNC board.

Did you read any of the articles? His son is to be named the HC in waiting. So yeah, he will be on staff.

I must admit that it may not mean as much to recruits - but to high school coaches, the word BB is dropping by your school to talk to you will make them sit up. Or will he take the Coach Sander philosophy of I don't make personal visits? Even if that is the case, a call from him will make coaches sit up.

If you told me 5 years ago that in 2024, Bill Belichick would fire Geoff Collins from UNC

Bill don’t go to ‘cruits. ‘Cruits come to Bill.

Cannot wait for the "Geoff Collins not retained by Bill Belichick" headline

After careful thought and prayer, GC3 has entered the transfer portal. RESPECT MY DECISION!!!!

If it is accurate that UNC will provide $20,000,000 annually for NIL for football only, then I am pretty close to preferring that we get out of this football craziness altogether. If only scholarship players get the money it would mean the average NIL salary for a UNC player would exceed $235,000 annually. That is absurd and will prove unsustainable for many schools.

NIL was such a fair and good idea - let players be compensated in the market for tha value of their name, image and likeness. An athlete could get $100 bucks for attending a kid’s birthday party or a $1,000,000 advertisement campaign from Nike. But, the school could have been forced by a simple NIL regulation to let this be solely between the player and booster/benefactor - no promises of money for pay from the school.

Alas, the coaches and AD’s could not stand to let the market work. They want control of all of the vast largesse college football creates, every last penny. Thus, we have collectives the school is clearly involved with distributing. It is pay for play. It is a professional system lacking the competitive balance safeguards of the NFL. It is tragic.

If reasonable college Presidents would bail out of this mess and create an alternative college football group where recruiting with pay promises and any pay for play was illegal and strictly enforced, I would very much like for Tech to be a part of this group of competitors. NIL would remain in place because it is now established legal precedent. But, there would be no collectives, no promises from the school, and no pay distributed.

I dont think there is any going back on pay for play. What is needed is standards, transparency, salary caps, etc.

 

[law_bee]

the reality is football has been pulling the wagon for dead weight non-rev sports. Kind of reminds you of the welfare state. Those days are over. FB$ will go to FB players. These college presidents can whine blah blah blah, but they are ADDICTED to the that revenue.

Dangerous promise

You are grossly underestimating the clowns sales abilities !!

Wow…$10 million per year for a HC who is the GOAT at the NFL level without question, but has no coaching experience at any level in CFB. This will either be a massive win for UNC and the ACC, or completely hurt his legacy.

You don't have to recruit to the university anymore. They're pros without a salary cap or draft enforcing equal access to talent.

A good college football coach in this day and time has to smart in being able to allocate the funds in which he is given. It’s almost as important as X’s and O’s

I'm not sure I agree with this completely -- pay for play is letting the market work. There's a huge market for pay for play, even without the school involved. That's why bag men have existed forever, and why NIL collectives formed and were well funded even at the beginning, before schools were involved.

If schools weren't involved, you can bet collectives would still exist for fans to give money to players. People want their school to win, and are willing to pay to make that happen. Whether the school chooses the players directly or the collective looks at rankings and pay them independently would have little effect on fans' willingness to pay.

To get rid of pay for play, you would have to put a stranglehold on the market, like the NCAA used to do before the SC opened the floodgates, which was always going to happen eventually because it's such a clear antitrust violation.
