Yes the entire premise of college athletics is one of the most exploitative
systems in the entire world.
Truthfully, I think Bennett is maybe the most vocal proponent of player protection than anyone in the industry. In his interview with CBS sports, the amount he discussed protecting players health, making sure guys aren’t being taken advantage of. I agree completely a coach leaving players they recruited is as bad and if not worse than what happened at unlv in football. But both shouldn’t happen.
And I think Bennett made it very clear too. He said in that same interview that uva lost players bc of nil. He said uva can compete in this World but HE can’t. It’s not a control thing, he doesn’t want to be a gm doing contract negotiations day after day after day. He wants to be a coach. I think it is absolutely possible to get back to what college athletics was pre NIL where players are able to payed (at various levels).
You are acting like he is an animal for not wanting open tampering, where players can have a great game and be gone the next day. He just thinks it has gone too far and the entire things needs to be redone. If players can’t transfer mid season, then coaches shouldn’t either, etc etc etc.
Of course a system coach wants a system he is able to analyze actual basketball to win, instead of who can play GM best. A system can be created and players can get paid - both are possible at the same time.
