Any time something demonstrates itself as a non-partisan issue, it’s worth paying attention. When a House D who once ran U of Miami and Senate Rs from SEC states are reported to be working together on creating a college sports spending oversight regime, changes to the status quo are afoot.
Some will argue capping coach salaries won’t stop spending because money will find its way into the market. And some will say price controls are the worst things for markets. However, we all know the NCAA is already not a free market, and spending is out of control as a result - which has led to this movement - so such arguments don’t withstand the slightest scrutiny.
College coach salaries are in the cross hairs but so too will other spending as one person involved in the developing effort referenced profligate spending on facilities like min-golf. Will be fascinating to follow how this develops.
