The problem is the men signing the checks to the collectives are going to expect a ROI. There are exceptions but the exceptions prove the rule. Wealthy men aren't stupid with their money. If I'm going to pay you "X" number of dollars you better at least show up.

"Your best capability is your availability".

Like the CBA in the NFL most of the money is "non guaranteed". Meaning it's "performance" based (as it should be). College football should follow suit.

Nick Saban's comments yesterday were a "dog whistle" to the SEC. We all know the SEC runs College football. Hopefully changes will be made shortly.
