@charknicks (for some reason it won't let me quote you) but that's whats going to be interesting in how this new power coaches have where they can cut players is gonna play out. Basically, it's like a performance review. You miss tutoring sessions, late for practice/workouts, etc...coaches can now recommend to the school to pull your scholly. And like I said on the last pod we recorded, it's gonna get real spooky when these non-school affiliated NIL groups start paying for guys and expecting them to play. Gonna put coaches in a tough spot
True. But coaches already had that power via performance review for players. Each scholarship is renewed on a year by year basis anyway. Always has been, even before NIL (see, the new Grambling women's volleyball coach who let her whole team go). The difference now is that there is big money involved for the players now because alot of these deals they may have are tied into local companies in their schools' area, so they cant just up and leave and take that money with them. So the only recourse for a player like this is to scream from the mountain top that he wants more. He is hoping that another local Miami company signs him, or he gets another deal for more money at another school.
Also, now thinking about it, having these NIL deals doesnt entice the player to play harder for that school or coach really, cause they are getting money now. So again, the older power coaches aint trying to hear that noise. I wouldnt be if I was a 60, 65, 70 year old coach.
