Now there is a novel idea, why didnt the powers to be think of that?

Exactly. You got guys like galloway making more monety than 99% of workers and we are told we can't boo him. It is totally out of control.

I think that i read a couple of years ago when the NIL was rolling out that IU had arranged graduate students to work with the athletes on financial planning. Maybe the program doesn't exist anymore. Im sure some others here will know the current situation.

Actually, if high performance is the goal pay accordingly as in pay ((half) starvation NIL)) if there even has to be something like NIL. And slash all these high coaching and related salaries as well….(athletes wanted their share as high coaching and related salaries tv contracts etc paved the way).
In Hollywood there was the $20,000,000 club that certain movie actors belonged to based on their success and popularity to get them.  Not sure what it is currently.  However, Hollywood and movies and tv shows nowadays is (mostly) trash.

I posted last week that she’d be back shortly after we lost to Maryland.  The pattern has become too obvious.  Maybe she works for the basketball team’s social media department or something and is being sent here to calm the fan base down after multiple consecutive losses.  Maybe she knows something, maybe she doesn’t.  But I’d guess by her bland, vague, repetitive answers that what little she knows is Woodson’s side of things.

And she certainly isn't "calm[ing] the fan base down"... her appearance has always shown the opposite effect.

Because they are subject to legal decisions.  As much as I dislike the NCAA organization, they didn't want the current landscape.  BUT because of how unreasonable they were, athletes took them to court and ended up with an even bigger piece of the pie than they could have ever imagined.

I would add that the revenue sharing is capped. The cap is $20.5M per school for this first year it will be offered. That amount is divided at the discretion of the school as to the amount each sport and athlete receives. Title IX also factors in to that but it's unclear exactly what that means.

As for NIL, there is no way the NCAA could cap or otherwise hinder an athlete's ability to earn money from other sources at this point. You're absolutely right that they did it to themselves by being reactive instead of proactive and tried so hard to maintain the status quo of "amateur" athletes while raking in billions of dollars. As for the schools having any say in NIL matters, it does make sense when you consider that most of a coach's salary comes from basically that so it would be hypocritical of them to say they couldn't do that for the athletes as well. 

What is really needed are binding contracts. I don't see that happening until there is some sort of CBA which itself requires several steps before happening.

Anyways, since we have a bad team despite spending around $6M in NIL, let's fire Mike Woodson and get a competent coach in here.

Here is 750k to play basketball but please don't boo me it will hurt my feelings. They wanted to be paid like the pros so now they get to be treated like the pros. They can't have it both ways.

....absolutely no offense at all, but something seems a little odd with that situation.

What % of superstar status players college or pro become really high level successful college or pro coaches not in John Wooden days but over the last 40 years.

Yet you choose to believe an absolutely unverified X post from a poster with BURNER IN THEIR USER NAME about death threats to Woody. Truly a masterclass in Never Been Got Scott hypocrisy and self delusion.

I didn't say I believed it at all. I said if true that is unacceptable
