Nebraska<\/a><\/strong> legend Mickey Joseph<\/a><\/strong>, who is entering his second season as Grambling State<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s head coach, believes smaller school programs like those in the SWAC should receive financial compensation when larger schools poach their players out of the NCAA Transfer Portal.<\/p>\n

Joseph, a former LSU<\/a><\/strong> and Cornhuskers assistant that went 3-6 as Nebraska\u2019s interim head coach in 2022, understands why some of his Grambling State players might want to transfer to larger schools after a strong season and take advantage of more lucrative NIL opportunities at the FBS level. His only suggestion is the NCAA help alleviate the loss in talent with a financial buyout to himself or other FCS coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the kids understand if they\u2019re here and they\u2019re sophomores and they have a big year and a Group of Five or Power Five (program) approaches them, and they have the finances to pull them out of here, and I can\u2019t match the finances, then you know what, they\u2019re going to go,\u201d Joseph said this week, according to video posted by MyArkLaMiss.com\u2019s Jeremy Bryant<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThat\u2019s part of it. Coaches have been doing it for years. So we shouldn\u2019t get mad as coaches when these kids make decisions to take care of their family. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut I also think there needs to be a buyout. If they move up from me and go to the Group of Five or the Power Five, I should get kind of a compensation for that. So, NCAA, if you\u2019re listening to me, I need a buyout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next week, U.S. District Court judge Claudia Wilken<\/strong> will hear arguments April 7 as part of the landmark House v. NCAA<\/em> settlement that could forever transform the college sports landscape as she decides on the future of a $20.5 million revenue-sharing cap to share with student-athletes.<\/p>\n

Of course, compensating FCS-level coaches and\/or programs for losing their players to FBS programs is not part of those discussions. But Joseph clearly believes it should be.<\/p>\n

Under the\u00a0House v. NCAA<\/em>\u00a0settlement, FBS schools will be able to directly share $20.5 million with athletes beginning next year. That number will increase by 4-percent each year afterward as part of a 10-year settlement agreement.<\/p>\n

Kirby Smart issues strong warning about House settlement<\/h2>\n

SEC programs like Georgia<\/a><\/strong> have previously announced plans for how they will distribute their $20.5 million in revenue-sharing. The Bulldogs plan to allocate 75-percent of that figure toward football, 15-percent going to men\u2019s basketball, with 5-percent to women\u2019s basketball and the remaining 5-percent spread among all other UGA sports.<\/p>\n

But Georgia head coach Kirby Smart<\/a><\/strong> is still concerned about competitive balance moving forward and whether schools can \u201cmanipulate\u201d the cap in place. He also had concerns about whether schools will need to cut sports \u2013 which SEC commissioner\u00a0Greg Sankey<\/strong>\u00a0has said is \u201cnot what we want<\/a>\u201d \u2013 and whether in the long run, the landscape will end up settling.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be one of the most legendary moments in all of college sports with what\u2019s coming up on this ruling and how people are going to try to manipulate a cap when all we\u2019re trying to do is make for competitive balance,\u201d Smart said. \u201cIt\u2019s really unfortunate that I don\u2019t know if competitive balance is going to come out of it. I don\u2019t know if the kids win in this model that we currently have, if they win long-term.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike, long-term, when we have to cut sports and cut other things, are the kids going to be the winners of this? I don\u2019t know. College sports [have]\u00a0been around for a long time and given many an opportunity, and by all means I want these kids to make money. But what\u2019s going on right now is not good for anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
