I like the remarks, but... it's easy to point out the irony of an SEC coach making $6M+ per year, complaining about anything money related.

There should be a salary cap for coaches.

Mark Stoops is making $9 mil/year now. A typical 7-5 coach. That's f***ing ridiculous!

Drink weighs in on the "broken system" of college sports... - zounami MU - 5/31 10:21:47

So what should be done with all the revenue - meatiger MU - 5/31 11:53:32

for starters, some of it could be shared w/ the players... - zounami MU - 5/31 16:45:41

Capitalism and Free Markets - ScottsdaleTiger MU - 5/31 11:39:50

That mentality will also kill the game for 80%-90% of - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 11:46:09

Scottsdale wants Mizzou out of athletics completely - Genco98 MU - 5/31 13:22:06

He is a moran. Nm - BandG MU - 5/31 19:24:34

Not that I disagree with any of that but how can there be a - KC rules MU - 5/31 12:20:14

That will also play into fan apathy. Having entirely new - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 13:04:36

Or, it just means he's objective, consistent and - GA Tiger MU - 5/31 11:15:03

What a disaster(nm) - Genco98 MU - 5/31 10:55:28

you mean the "broken system" he's describing? (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 10:58:13

The whole thing is a ridiculous mess - Genco98 MU - 5/31 11:24:20

...or that mediocre coaches are making almost $10M/yr now? (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 10:58:52

Not sure why I'm engaging your dummy - TigerMook MU - 5/31 10:27:40

I'm aware of that. What do you think you're refuting? (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 10:37:55

RE: I'm aware of that. What do you think you're refuting? (nm) - TigerMook MU - 5/31 10:44:40

I don't. Probably just have light beer, which is - GA Tiger MU - 5/31 11:16:40

because there needs to be a salary cap... - zounami MU - 5/31 10:59:15

What problem are you solving with a salary cap for - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 11:05:58

There needs to be a salary cap for players. And all of the - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 11:16:16

No salary cap will happen but I agree it's ultimately a - Genco98 MU - 5/31 14:28:05

Disagree for several reasons. 1. I don't believe NIL has - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 11:32:15

"NIL was a court decision".. no, it was state legislation... - zounami MU - 5/31 13:25:46

Supreme court vs Alston... - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 15:14:23

That case didn't rule on anything NIL-related. (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 16:44:53

It is ruined unless a salary cap is put into place. The - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 11:38:55

Correct. There needs to be reform or the sports will die... - zounami MU - 5/31 13:26:58

Have you missed the last 10 years - meatiger MU - 5/31 11:57:45

Sure...but schools like Mizzou still had a chance to get to - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:03:15

correct (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 13:27:08

It hasn't been in place long enough to show any crazy - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:18:04

Well, I'd say Mizzou has seen a net positive from the - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:35:36

Agree. I am not putting down Drink about working the - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:48:11

agreed (nm) - zounami MU - 5/31 13:27:28

What are you seeing that you are basing this prediction on? - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:06:29

I guess I don't see the difference when there was no NIL - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 11:51:00

The difference is before only a handful of great players - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 11:57:28

Again, I will disagree. MLB doesn't really have a spending - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:05:05

Trust me if Pinkel were coaching right now and he found and - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:24:52

How many players has Mizzou lost to the highest bidder? - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:36:44

Yes - but we don't have that many high level players... - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:49:38

What? Wingo was of our 3 best players? Chad Bailey, - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 15:22:12

So UGa and LSU can find those players easier?(nm) - redngray MU - 5/31 12:21:23

Or we can find them from Florida or Oklahoma or Ohio State (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:37:42

How do you expect to compete against those schools by - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 13:08:45

So, other schools can get value out of our "rejects"? Was - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 15:23:35

Yes we can get a few guys that don’t pan out at those places - redngray MU - 5/31 12:43:09

We would have lost most if not all of them in the current - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:52:22

Well, if our current rate is any indication maybe all but - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:46:21

You can't say that we gained 7 lesser players and that - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:56:20

No salary cap is one of the reasons MLB is dying in smaller - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:11:38

Well you don't see KC competing regularly(nm) - tman MU - 5/31 12:07:37

About as often as Mizzou has competed for a national - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:10:20

There are contracts, a salary cap, and a draft in MLB... - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:22:46

Mizzou has also benefited from it. Ty'Ron Hopper, Mookie - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:41:05

Yes - we will get some players from it, but not likely - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 12:46:07

You don't think Ty'Ron Hopper, Joseph Charleston, Jayden - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 12:53:35

Hopper sure seems like a big time player. Garcia - Carlos Rossi KC - 5/31 13:00:46

You don't think KAD, Rakestraw or Foster are top 150? (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 15:34:12

Where did you get that Garcia can't beat out Cook? (nm) - Lt. J. Dangle MU - 5/31 15:32:26
