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