Break those contracts routinely if they find larger paydays. Coaches have freedom of movement, so should players. And the mess that is college basketball now is not the fault of the players. It is squarely on the backs of the NCAA and grossly overpaid Head Coaches. But coaches aren’t giving any of that money back. So donors and fans dig deeper and many complain about player movement being too much. Yet the NCAA abdicated their oversight. They could have stopped this merely by accepting players should get paid and doing their job. Their job being instituting guard rails and restrictions along with accepting players should be paid. Instead, they unwisely decided to try and squishy players like a bug and totally deny even paying players. And they were wrong in court. Wrong at the Supreme Court to the tune of a 9-0 decision. Do you realize how grotesquely wrong you have to be to have a unanimous 9-0 decision against you in this polarized political climate? Supreme Court never rules in favor of anything these days by a 9-0 decision. So in losing, the NCAA lost the ability to now put into place any guardrails or restrictions because it is now against the law. A colossal and stupefying mistake on their part and here we are with the mess that they and the coaches created. If I was an AD at a power 4 program I would hire coaches on 1year contracts. They expire the day after the National Championship game. I’m coachless 2 days after the Championship. But I hire the best, most savvy, most astute General Manager and take my 12 mil in NIL money and let him go find me a team for the following season. Only then-after my roster has been completed- do I go out and hire a new Head Coach. Scores of coaches want to coach a possible Final Four roster. And if my GM does their job and evaluates incoming players correctly, then I will have an excellent roster for the next season. And then that means many coaches will want the job. That means I don’t need to pay someone 5-7 million. I find the coach that will work for less money because they are excited about the roster. Let the interested coaches pac-man themselves. Then I end up paying 1 million because there is steep competition to coach the team. Then rinse and repeat the following season. This won’t happen of course but there must be a significant course correction in the amount of money paid to head coaches.
