@approxinfinity HEM always wanted to get rid of Self b/c he only won 1 title and didn't keep gettng into the F4. Then HEM disappeared (during Covid I think), and Bill won a second title a couple of years later. The "What have you done for me lately?" impatience is ridiculous considering all the drastic challenges facing coaches.
-
So if we spent $8million on this roster what if we pay 800k per player for 10 guys? And then create a bonus structure where for every game in the tournament they advance, each players gets an additional bonus and other incentives? Can we build a hardhat lunchpail culture where the players might be getting paid but at least they are genuinely evenly invested in the success of the team?

@mayjay hes the highest paid coach in college basketball
Outside of 2022, this team is 5-6 in tournament games since 2019.
-
@approxinfinity lol…this sport is done. Why watch minor leagues? That all it is now

@mayjay this was the tail end of Tony Bennett's UVA tenure:
2018-19: 35-3 (16-2 ACC) - NCAA National Champions
2019-20: 23-7 (15-5 ACC) - Season canceled (COVID)
2020-21: 18-7 (13-4 ACC) - ACC Regular Season Champs, NCAA R64
2021-22: 21-14 (12-8 ACC) - NIT Quarterfinals
2022-23: 25-8 (15-5 ACC) - ACC Regular Season Champs, NCAA R64
2023-24: 23-11 (13-7 ACC) - NCAA First FourSeems not unlike Self:
2021–22 Kansas 34–6 14–4 T–1st NCAA Division I Champion
2022–23 Kansas 24–8** 13–5 1st NCAA Division I Round of 32
2023–24 Kansas 23–11 10–8 T–5th NCAA Division I Round of 32
2024–25 Kansas 21–13 11–9 6th NCAA Division I Round of 64
2025–26 Kansas 24–11 12–6 T–3rd NCAA Division I Round of 32 -
@approxinfinity no second weekend appearances in 4 seasons is horrible ROI
-
@approxinfinity incentives are a big no no
-
@mayjay his “F YOU ALL” last message was a nice touch
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Money next year:
@approxinfinity incentives are a big no no
alright. these limits seem arbitrary and ludicrous. lets pay them like its a very lucrative full time job but not incentivize performance?
-
@farmerjayhawk also the ACC began a "success incentive initiative" in the 2024-25 season to reward schools with additional revenue based on conference performance in postseason competitions, how is this any different than the players not being able to capitalize on NIL if this money is withheld from player bonuses?
-
@approxinfinity I don’t disagree, but the NIL rules are just that. Name, image, and likeness. You’re not allowed to do anything other than that.
-
As far as i can tell, the schools can "revenue share" in any way then want though, right?
I poked around and couldn't find any limits on structure. Who knows. it's all wrapped in a riddle.
But 100% against paying em all the same. Ya get what you can, tis the American way. All that being said, i HATE this entire pay system. Way out of control. It'll be a death blow to college sports at some point.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk yes and no. Every school has a hard cap on RevShare and those amounts get negotiated in advance. So sure you can pay a player but it’s only a fixed amount.
