“You Ain’t Get No Water”: Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson Get Real as Coach Prime Wants an NIL Salary Cap in College Football

The college sports landscape is a mess.

This belief is pretty consistent from coach to coach across the NCAAs multitude of conferences.

Things are the most out-of-sort in the most profitable ventures: football and mens basketball.Nobody thinks collegiate athletics (as intended) will survive this lawless wasteland.

Many people want rules and regulations instituted for the health of the industry.

Deion Sanders, Colorado footballs head coach, is one of the people fighting for such things.

He recently revealed to Jarrett Bell of USA Today that hed support a Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) salary cap.There should be some kind of cap.

Our game should emulate the NFL game in every aspect.

Rules.

Regulations.

Whatever the NFL rules, the college rules should be the same.

There should be a cap, and every team gets this, and you should be able to spend that, Deion Sanders said.Word of Sanders opinion got to Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson during Mondays episode of Nightcap.

Sharpe didnt explicitly agree or disagree with Sanders thoughts; instead, he focused on how things have changed so drastically from his college days.You cant coach kids like we used to get coached.

You cant yell at a kid...

thats where we are now.

And I get it to a certain extent...

[sometimes] we go damn near the whole practice with no water.

You make a mistake, nah, you aint get no water, Sharpe said.Johnson took aim at Sanders claim more directly.

He told Sharpe and their guest panelist, former NBA All Star guard Joe Johnson that he doesnt support a salary cap.I dont like it.

I want the players to get as much as they can off their likeness.

Is there a salary cap when it comes to coaches going from college to college or schools to school? Do they put a salary cap on coaches being able to get as much money as they want? Absolutely not.

So dont do it to the players, either, Johnson said.Johnson mentioned colleges make billions; B-word, not millions...

every year off of their players.

Its understandable that he would, as a former athlete, want the wealth to be spread around.If Sanders werent in a coaching role, he may agree with Johnson.

But theres no disputing that this unrestricted environment has led to utter chaos.

It has also increased stress on coaching staffs, who never know if a player may be angling to leave behind their back.

Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava essentially did this before his transfer to UCLA.The NIL payments agreed to between team and player a more appropriate classification than school and student are supposed to be binding.

But there have been many instances of both sides failing to live up to their word.

Without legislation of some kind, nothing will get better.

Sanders idea of a salary cap may not be perfect, but itd at least be a starting point to getting the Wild West under control.The post You Aint Get No Water: Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson Get Real as Coach Prime Wants an NIL Salary Cap in College Football appeared first on The SportsRush..
