    From a value standpoint, I think Painter and Holtman are "good buys" for what they're delivering. Collins is clearly overpaid, relatively speaking. I know he hasn't done much yet but I'm a believer in Ben Johnson. I can't rationalize Underwood over Izzo, all else equal.

    Correction: Painter takes $450k and drops $275k into the NIL jar. Don't forget about your friend Uncle Sam.

    CMP Salary Increases? Should Be a Final 4 Bonus...

    I'm far from an expert, but don't see how the NIL deals would be in any way regulated under Title IX. I think Title IX only applies to entities that pull down federal money. NIL funds are coming through a separate entity (BAC) that gets all of its money via donations from general public. That...

    You've said this "redirect" a few times to describe donors giving money directly to the collective rather than to Purdue's athletic department. Financially speaking, sure it's probably affordable for the department to pay for scholarships and coach salaries without fan donations. But you're...

    Is this implying that you think a top-25 coach would work for circus peanuts by today's standards (say, $1M/year or less) if a school/collective was able to guarantee that the extra $2-$3M per year not being paid to him was instead going to fund a warchest to recruit a roster of all McDAA-level...

    Ha. Well I think that's when NIL took off on this board certainly. But would be a dereliction of duty if university and athletic department members weren't knee deep into scenario planning by at least June 2021 when the NCAA said "have at it".

    Just FYI, that is not accurate on the timeline. The $450k wasn't written into his contract before NIL took off, it was just recently added in a contract amendment (unless they started this negotiation 6-9 months ago). There was a $350k base raise and a $450k bonus if he's still employed...

    Mathematically, yes. Practically speaking, far less realistic. For starters, you'd have to somehow convey message to fans/donors that Painter's salary has been evaluated, deemed to be raise-worthy relative to his peers, but that Purdue is opting to not spend this money (thereby publicly...

    Perhaps. I still think his regular season success is spectacular. In fairness though, if we're taking away Bennett's best season in tourney as if it's an outlier, then you need to take away Painter's. That'd be Painter's 5 SSs and 3 first round exists in 16 seasons vs Bennett's 2 SSs and 1 EE...

    I get the point on Bennett, but disagree a little. 5-time ACC regular season champ and 2-time conference tournament winner in the last 10 years playing in a conference that has 2 of the top 5 winningest teams during the 2010's is pretty damn good (and Bennett's VA was top 10 itself). Multiple...

    Yeah, similar thoughts. #1, I would add Bennett. If character were no issue, Sampson and Pearl can really coach. I'd like to add Counzo due to his Purdue connection, but Mizzou years have not been kind to him #2, I'd add LSU and Providence. Also think IL could be an interesting one; I know...

    Here is a somewhat recent list of top paid college coaches (made at end of last season). It lists the top 37, which is presumably a cutoff point given that 3 coaches were tied at 37 for $3M/yr. This of course doesn't have the recent pay adjustment of Painter, nor other adjustments after its...

    Without looking, is this a trick question... isn't the answer 'none'?

    Necessary? No, probably not. With a win over St Pete and a 2nd EE in a 3-yr span, I think you could argue it more easily, though I personally would still struggle justifying it as necessary. For example, how many schools with a better basketball program than Purdue’s would want to steal him...

    I hate the NIL!!

    That's the thing though, it's not at the expense of the charity. In your example, the YMCA didn't have to pay anything to get him to be their spokesman, do a commercial with him, or whatever. The money is coming from members of the community. Certainly the YMCA would rather have cold hard...

    I hate the NIL!!

    It seems like the best one could hope for is that coaching staffs aren't trying to broker deals themselves or trying to help a kid get specific terms in advance like the $400k/yr Pack situation. Yes, we have NIL. Yes, we can share with you some particulars of what past players received. Yes...

    I hate the NIL!!

    I'm not 100% sure I understand all the NIL charitable collective stuff, but I think it's designed in a way (compliant with IRS rules, surprisingly to this accountant) that allows donors to give money to charities and charities dole it out to student athletes for "services rendered", whatever all...

    I don’t pay for the premium stuff on KHC, but had the same thought reading that. Staff was ok with his commitment last year and no reason to think they’re weren’t still good with it. If this development isn’t a positive in Painter’s eyes, not sure why fans would want to spin it into one.

    Ouch. I'm not sure that's a good look for the star player (or one of, at least) to be taking shots at high school recruits. Granted, he didn't mention any name, but hard to pass this off as random commentary on the world of college athletics.
