Agree 1000%. I just wish the ones making the positive decisions were given a little media coverage than the ones doing dumb stuff
You and me both buddy. I couldn’t even imagine having social media when I was that age

I remember distinctly when I started losing respect for JoePa. It was when I saw him on TV talking about boosters. He said that he always told them, "I want your money but I don't want your two cents".
Full Disclosure: I saw this statement from both sides at the time. While I could appreciate that it takes an incredibly arrogant booster to think that a donation made their opinion on football have value; my primary thought was how arrogant it was for Joe to feel entitled to their money without having to give them so much as the time of day.
NIL changes that relationship in a big way. NIL makes it so that the person controlling the NIL purse strings, who by definition does NOT work for the university, can have a big say on your roster whether you like it or not. Now the NIL has the money and they don't have to take YOUR two cents. (Though I'm sure in practice they usually work more closely with the university than they are supposed to, the above dynamic is sure to be in play in more than a few spots in the FBS).
This is why it is necessary, in my opinion, to tie direct compensation of players to net revenue. The direct compensation will put some of that power back with the coaching staff (where it belongs in my opinion), and the more of it the better. Tying player compensation to a percentage of net revenue generated by the sport is truly fair, like it or not. Those who bring in no revenue are already over-compensated (financially speaking) by receiving scholarships. But this is not about that... my primary point here is that, if the football players receive their FAIR share of the net revenue FROM THE UNIVERSITY, then the coaches are fully back in the driver's seat, where they belong.
