We trippled that with 105k a month

Tennessee holds the current buzz with Tate from the tangible angle, including three visits this year. It was re-emphasized as he wrapped up all of his visits with yet another to Knoxville two weekends ago. That trip, like at least one other to Rocky Top, was with highly-touted quarterback and Vol commitment Nico Iamaleava, who has been campaigning to get Tate to join him in Knoxville. Not only has the Tate family grown close to the Iamaleava's, but Carnell and Nico have become increasingly tight. Per a source, it's to the point where the communication is nearly daily between the pair. The Vol angle is the only, among finalists, that pairs with an established quarterback recruit -- something Tate is keeping an eye on ahead of a decision. UT, with an explosive offense of its own to sell under Josh Heupel, had multiple coaches at IMG last Thursday as well.

Are you okay with SEC coaches getting paid between $150,000-$950,000 per month?

Without great coaches these football programs wouldn’t be where they are. Coaches are bosses. Bosses always make much more than the workers. It’s how businesses work. So I have no problem with coaches salaries.

Think about Saban. How many untold millions had he made players in his career? Because of him Bama is what it is. His salary is well worth it.

Not necessarily. In the IT world, it's not uncommon at all for the brains that produce to make more than their bosses. Quite often, it all comes down to "who's important to the final product?"

The problem is that the NCAA is a fixed market that disallows the players getting paid anything, much less allowing a free market to pay the athletes that would prove most important to the final product.

In short, a "makes more" argument doesn't necessarily equate to "I make millions and they can't be paid anything". That logic naturally breaks down in a "divide by zero" error.

Saban is so successful because (by hook, crook, or charm...whatever...) he gets the best athletes. He out-talents his opponents. It's an odd argument to say that a coach deserves to get more salary, because he has the capability to get the best athletes that make it easier for him to win, in a system that denies the athletes an ability to be paid for making up winning teams, while said system rakes in billions of year broadcasting the work of the athletes who can't get paid.

WTH bizarro world has this been?

True if they were employees who entered into an employment arrangement. They aren't. They are amateur athletes being provided a scholarship and benefits in exchange for the privilege of playing for your college's team.

NIL is different and separate from direct payment. Direct payment should never be allowed. If that becomes the thing then just eliminate all academic requirements and assistance. They will have become professional players not student athletes.

You seem to completely discount or ignore the value of leadership and management. Saban is an elite coach who also has the ability to convince great players to play for him. And he has created a culture of winning. The product on the field has evolved. The culture has likely evolved. But the expectations set by the LEADER are how they've achieved so much, so consistently.

The sum of the talent of the team is nothing without leadership and coaching.

I understand the difference b/t wage and NIL. The post I responded to was discussing who deserves the most money.
