Said it before but a salary cap is going to be impossible to enforce and won't make much of a difference at such a small number. Legally, a salary cap won't be able to limit "NIL" at all no matter what happens really.

If there had been a $2M salary cap for this season, there's still nothing that could stop Hunter Dickinson from making $3M+ in NIL on top of whatever salary Kansas would give him. It's going to need new legislation to be passed limiting NIL (can't see that happening) for this type of system to work. The richest teams would still be able to subvert the cap through NIL.

Agree but a few questions. (admittedly I didn't read the article)

Who does CRP think will fund the salary cap? Schools or Boosters?
If Booster's then do they still have a lot of money for NIL?
NIL is still relatively a new wild west, how long before the system moderates, or do the boosters have too much money to worry about it and the ROI they are getting for their investment?

Well, him being focused and them not hasn’t worked so………………as an ex Hs school at a fairly high level, coaching is certainly a big part of the equation but at the end of the day, players play……or not.
One of the mantras I always preached, I can teach you the game, I can put in systems and try to maximize strengths and hide weaknesses but I can’t teach effort; I can try and facilitate the development of team chemistry, but I can’t make a team play for each other; and I sure as heck can’t teach anyone to care.

I wouldn’t take my comment, really most any of them, too seriously.

I believe Rick is advocating a restructuring of this dopey NIL, which is really a salary (as he refers to it) so schools would pay players directly from funds raised for that purpose, not to exceed a cap of $1.5. - 2 million, which most high level programs could raise. He isn't saying salary plus nil.

The only way this avoids needing legislation is a CBA. That is how you avoid antitrust legislation. Which, again, to the chargin of some people on this board, you need to have the players as employees so they can unionize and then agree to a CBA. Otherwise, we're waiting for some complicated bill to pass in Washington -- good luck with that.

But I agree with CRP. You need a salary cap, contracts that are binding and are not by default 1 year deals (if anything, maybe HS recruits are 2 years by default w/out transfer). The salary cap can be part of revenue sharing from TV contracts. You can even allow NIL anyway that is outside of these payments, just like how a guy with the Knicks can also get an endorsement deal.

This will turn some people off, but this will be much better for the sport, college product, and the coaches and players.

We will just be back to cheating under the table beyond the salary cap.

Not if you legalize NIL. Just make the salary cap about revenue shared money.

I personally don't care that much about a salary cap. As long as the NIL stuff is transparent, and we don't have a NCAA enforcement selectively picking & choosing who to get in trouble, I think it's fine if bigger programs can offer more.

I'd prefer ^ than before, where it was all very hush hush but a known reality.

Yeah I know, and I agree that schools should just directly pay players now, just saying it can't be enforced because legally nobody can stop Mike Repole from signing SJU players to be paid partners with his new company for however much he wants. If the NCAA or Big East tries to limit NIL or make a kid ineligible over it they will get sued and lose easily again.

Would Richard stay at N Mexico if say they became a Top10 team, and say a Michigan came calling? That would be mega bucks he'd be turning down. Maybe if pops told Richard that he'd really love for richard to take the job after him and assured that SJU would hire him, just maybe he would stay at N Mexico to take over SJU.

It's hard to turn down your pops wishes.

St. John’s job won’t be opening for over 10 years
 
“I personally want him to stay at New Mexico. I want him to stay at New Mexico until I leave St. John’s and he can take my place then,” Pitino said after the Johnnies’ 85-57 blitzing of DePaul at UBS Arena on Tuesday night.

The Hall of Fame coach then added: “The one thing I can tell you about my son, Richard: I have no say in what he does. I did when he was my assistant coach. He’s his own man. So if he wants to go to DePaul, or any place else, that’s going to be his call.”

The 41-year-old Richard is having a big year at New Mexico. The Lobos are ranked 25th in the country and are a projected NCAA Tournament team.

New Mexico won 22 games and reached the NIT last year in Richard’s third season as its head coach.

Previously, he was the head coach at Minnesota for eight seasons and worked under his father at Louisville from 2007-09 and 2011-12.
