Report: NCAA could eliminate caps on coaching staffs, among other seismic changes

The NCAA's Transformation Committee is in the process of reimagining how Division I does business, which could have major consequences for football coaches.

The status quo within college sports is under constant attack from the outside, but massive change could also come from within.

The NCAA's Transformation Committee, formed by outgoing president Mark Emmert and an executive group of university presidents, is in the process of, essentially, reimagining the NCAA rule book from scratch, and so far what they've imagined is radically different from the current one.

The move stems from last summer's landmark 9-0 decision by the US Supreme Court banning the NCAA from limiting compensation to college athletes, so long as that compensation is tied to education. That decision has spooked the NCAA from stepping anywhere between college athletes and money, fearing further destruction by the court system. 

As a result, the NCAA is envisioning a future in which the NCAA shifts much of the burden to each individual conference. Essentially, "the NCAA" as an entity could simply be an organization that exists to manage championship events and not get sued. In doing so, the NCAA would pass the authority to write and enforce bylaws to each individual conference. 

From Sports Illustrated

Several athletic administrators and college sports insiders discussed the Transfer Committee’s concepts under the condition of anonymity. They include (1) eliminating scholarship caps on sports that offer only partial scholarships; (2) abolishing the limitation on the number of coaches per team; (3) expanding direct payments from schools to athletes; (4) reconfiguring the recruiting calendar; and (5) implementing closed periods in the NCAA transfer portal. At least the first three items will be left in the decision-making hands of individual conferences, if the concepts are approved.

Abolishing the "countable coach" limit would allow each team's staff of analysts and quality control coaches to provide on-field instruction to players -- or to provide on-field instruction and no longer look over their shoulder for their employer's compliance staff. It also means schools could send analysts and quality control coaches on the road to recruit -- and/or to hire coaches specifically to go on the road to recruit.

For a beleaguered workforce of assistant coaches, weary from the near-constant expectation to recruit, this could be a welcome change. 

The Transformation Committee is also considering changes to the recruiting calendar, per SI: 

Concepts are also being discussed around simplifying the recruiting calendar, by potentially eliminating some regulations and replacing dead, quiet, evaluation and recruiting periods with two windows: a recruiting period and a dead period.

The committee is also mulling closing the Transfer Portal except for a 3-month window, per SI.

The committee is also considering lifting the cap on scholarships offered by "equivalency" sports where, for example, SEC baseball teams could soon see their scholarship allotment balloon from 11.7 to 35. (While the Transformation Committee can rewrite the NCAA constitution, it cannot change the law. Adding 23.3 scholarships in baseball would require adding 23.3 new scholarships in a women's sport as well.) 

The logical conclusion of everything floated above is this: If SEC (or Big Ten, or ACC) schools can soon employ 25 on-field football coaches and scholarship 35 baseball players, what's to stop them from lifting the 85-man limit in football? Already, the NCAA is in the process of lifting the 25-man signing class limit to as high as 32, thanks to the Transfer Portal.

Nothing the 21-member Transformation Committee is considering is final. The reason we're hearing about these possible changes -- the committee recently briefed a panel of ADs in Dallas -- is to prepare the college sports industry for radical change. Emmert and the NCAA's executive committee charged the Transformation Committee to re-write Division I policies by August. The committee will likely not finish its work by August, but a future is coming, sooner than later, where the SEC can pass new rules that Sun Belt would have no power to stop. 

“Every G5 AD is like, ‘Holy s---!’” one AD told SI.

What’s the point of posting clearly false trash like this?

If you don’t know anything about the guy, it’s perfectly fine to not say anything or maybe ask for more info. 

You must be new to the internet. Much less Surly. 

But , please stay and enjoy the craziness. 

But id suggest taking that stick out of your ass first.

BO Davis --$1 Million/yr Salary Club    "Get in the Mutha Fucker !!!" 

Defensive line coach Bo Davis will also receive a fourth year added to his original agreement, though Davis will also receive an annual increase to his previous contract. Davis was set to make $900,000 in Year 2 and $925,000 in Year 3, but the D-line coach will join the $1 million club and will receive an annual guaranteed salary of $1 million in each of the three years remaining on his contract.

Wait, so not only did we extend these jokers but we gave them raises in their existing contract years??

good stuff.  the SC decision that says it must be tied to education is still flawed IMO.  say Physics major gets a paid internship or develops something.  Is it contingent upon them being in school or tied to education?

Milwee-G5 OC job

Davis- LSU or Florida

Joseph- Pretty sure he was close to following Brian Kelly to LSU to be safeties coach

Gideon- ?

Choate- ?

Banks- Bama try to get him back when they lost their TE coach? Saban seemed pissed at their lack of traction in recruiting Texas last year

Gerry also mentioned that there was a rumor Saban might make room for BO at Bama.  BO played at Lsu so that's always a school that might hire him.  Gerry also stated that Florida (Napier) definitely made him an offer...

From Mike Roach

— One staff hire that has flown under the radar is Bobby Merritt. A former NFL and CFL scout, Merritt is listed on his twitter as the assistant director of player personnel scouting. After a career in the military, Merritt spent 12 years in the NFL as a college scout with the Lions and Texans. He also worked as the director of football recruiting for Tennessee and director of player personnel for Houston. Most recently, Merritt served as the director of scouting and assistant GM for the Edmonton Elks of the CFL. According to a high school coach I spoke to with knowledge of Merritt, he's playing a pivotal role in scouting college prospects in the NCAA Transfer Portal. The coach I spoke with also said he's doing some work self-scouting the current roster. It wasn't a hire that made waves, but it's fascinating to see Sark continue to add layers to the personnel department.

So we reinforced our player personnel department with someone who scouted players for *checks notes*...the Texans, Lions, fake UT, Cougar High, and a CFL team that just went 3-11. Awesome.

It's not his fault if the coaches at those programs sucked, or that the Texans franchise QB likes to give girls unsuspecting pearl necklaces, or that their franchise receiver gets traded, or that the coaches at fake UT have to pay to get guys there.

Did you at least take 10 seconds to find out what years he was at each of those places before you started weeping?

Lions  2003 - 2007

Texans 2007 - 2015

Tennessee 2015 - 2016

Houston  2017

Edmonton 2018 - 2022

Of course not, this is Surly. We're only here to complain.

FIFY

As much as people bitch about the defense, Sark has said more than once that he wants continuity and he didn't want to go making wholesale changes after year 1. I can respect that, and I think PK got the memo, but the players will benefit from an offseason in the same system with the same coaches.

A year one staff overhaul would have been disastrous. Especially when you consider this staff was behind on evaluation and teaching the scheme due to COVID.
