If you anticipate being in a bidding war for a player at the end of the cycle, i.e. Joshua Jefferson last spring.
Blum alluded to the Campbell staff reserving funds and carrying them over as part of a retention bonus for players this coming year, that ultimately left along with him being money that Rogers had now freed up. Is it prudent to hold a certain percentage of your budget for emergencies? Doing so might land you a player you need against a school with no additonal funds.
Rogers has $10M more to work with than he did at WSU, he has to be excited as hell.
I have no information to dispute this, but I don't understand how the accounting would work under the revenue share. Aren't they capped at 20.5M. So not as though you spent 19.5M one year so you have 21.5M the next.
Am I missing something? Not asking to be argumentative...I just am not following the mechanics of this "holding back money".
Timeframe for spending is July 1- June 30. So if they had not paid out all of the football allocation during the season last year, they could still use that to make payments up until June 30 and not count against the rev cap for guys that get paid during next football season.
I don't know either, but the way Blum discussed it, that was the impression I got. Maybe the money could have been provided as a signing bonus in this year out of unspent funds, with revshare amount for 2026 being paid as normal. I'm sure there are ways.
I think it would be fascinating if CW could have Rogers' GM on his pod after this is all settled to explain how it works and what the philosphies are when approaching the portal.
Not a dumb question at all as I was also curious of this. How can some of these sec schools get waaaay more money than us or how can we have a 15 million budget but wsu is 2 million? I thought it was just how much money donors wanted to donate and we didn’t have as much millionaires. Apparently I was wrong lol
Those are rookie numbers, you’ve gotta pump those numbers up
1. The Schools are allowed to give Revenue Sharing up to $20.5 million. Each schools AD decides how much goes to each sport. For example at ISU FB gets $13 million of that. At Wash St. they don't have enough to share the entire $20.5 million and only have enough for $3 million for football.
2. This $20.5 million shared by the school can come from many different forms - University funds, TV revenue, donors, etc.
3. Any money above this $20.5 Million is NIL that is coming from donors.
In the past I thought coaching college sports would be a dream job. I can’t imagine how hard it is to coach kids now. We’ve (until this offseason) done well with retaining players but anymore there is no commitment. I would think the dream has to be coaching professional sports. Players are forced to fulfill their commitment via contract. College has always been harder because of recruiting imo but damn I can’t imagine trying to do what these guys have to do now. In our case a whole new team to recruit, teach, become a cohesive unit and learn the system in a single offseason
It was a dream job to me at one time to then I saw how many hours they have to work and said no ******* way
Yeah but tax season only lasts 4 months.
Crazy coaching hours lasts at least nine months.
I can put up with working a lot those 4 months when I get all the money to spend having fun the remaining 8 months.
He chose to go to a loser.
Point of clarification on the “donors” part. If i wanted to write a check to a player I couldn’t do that unless im a business with some kind of purpose to hire them for marketing of some kind.
Yes, I know the clearinghouse will be a joke. But despite the endless discussions on here too many people simply think that some rich donor can just start handing out money to players.
At least in theory, it’s more complicated
