But the coach that turned down a raise isn’t the one to try this on. He blatantly stated he is all for players getting payed but with structure. I’m sure in your example this said coach didn’t have a contract with the agent who was professionally verified, contract with the school that ensures payment on time, allowed general lines of flexibility but the ability to leave when terms weren’t met/stable. Schools totally weren’t telling this hypothetical coach he would be paid x and got y instead. Weird how all those characteristics are currently being applied with NIL right? Right? For everyone’s sake this wasn’t Saban losing control and getting upset. Bennett sees a system that isn’t working. Mike Young says the same thing. And Bennett chose he didn’t want to be a part of it under the current premises. Bennett doesn’t retire today with payers being paid through a CBA and contractual structure.
