My replacement for Big Fish

Going off our current pool of $800k salary for MBB:

Any coach willing to come here for $400k base, with $400k diverted from RCAF and into Krewe Allons bucket for MBB. Would have to ask the whale donors to divert the funds themselves prior to contributing to RCAF for legality.

That has to be the model moving forward to be competitive every year.

How many universities with consistently competitive basketball teams have the coach funding the NIL?

Dave retweeted an announcement from a top MBB prospect in North Carolina announcing his top 7 schools. Most were SEC teams. No UNC or Duke.

In this new era, if you want to compete with the teams with unlimited resources buying their roster...universities with limited resources need to do some creative balancing of the book.

In the previous era, maybe coaches were worth $800k because they had all of the control. No players transferring out, players not being paid. They could recruit and develop players without yearly turnover. If I were a young up-and-coming MBB coach, I'd make that pitch to get a head job. Pay me x, and let's put y in an NIL pool.

If RCAF was independent, no brainer. But, alas, it’s about control.

[CajunVic]

And what great up and comer are we hiring for $400,000 a year?

It’s not, so this would cause one to divert their donations away from RCAF to the collective or some other source not collected to the university for use as NIL to the players.

Being reported James Madison Coach Byington is being hired away by Vanderbilt.

I don't know, I'm not advocating a change in coach. Just a change in the model in how we pay coaches in this era.

[zephyr]

Is that a coaching candidate that you really think would work out better here?

I'm sure there are a number of possibilities. The coaching profession in some ways is no different than the players. There is loads of talent out there sitting on a bench waiting on an opportunity learning under other great coaches.

Louisville hires Charleston coach Pat Kelsey as its next MBB coach. Kelsey made the NCAA tourney past two seasons out of his three years at Charleston.

Couple more hires of note: UTSA hires Nicholls head coach Austin Claunch. James Madison hiring Preston Spradlin head coach at Morehead St. where he made a couple of NCAA tourneys.
