The coaches and AD's have made money because the programs they ran made money. Yes, they were paid a handsome salary, but these kids were provided for just not directly. First class facilities, everything I listed above, locker rooms that rival the finest country clubs, top rate sports medicine and rehab facilities, etc... There is value in what they receive for a scholarship in exchange for their ability to play a sport. Now, they should be allowed to make whatever they are able off of their name, image or likeness, but not paid a salary, ala smuT and TX Tech, for just being on the team. If Bill Utter Ford wanted to give Booger Kennedy a truck and a salary to be their spokesperson because he was "Built Ford Tough" then let them.
I feel like people get too riled up about NIL. If you want to help out in that particular regard there are ways to do it. If you don't then no big deal. I think it is good that they players are able to make some extra money. The coaches and AD's have been making tons for years on the players backs.
