Can you provide more context please? Like, what exactly did he say? Is there link to it?He makes $9M/yr and he’s complaining about the stress of NIL. You can’t make this stuff up.

He makes $9M/yr and he’s complaining about the stress of NIL. You can’t make this stuff up.
"No crying on the yacht."Lol.
Just exactly how do those two subjects even relate?
NIL is provided by you and me.
The Coaches cannot fund it.
Coaches can and do donate to other programs NIL packages (Pitino to UK Football NIL), but not to their
own.
Agree. Guy was given a chance to vent.Give the guy a break.
He’s being honest.
If I made around $750,000.00 per game coached, I don’t think I’d whine. I would be grateful and deal with the cards I was dealt with.Give the guy a break.
He’s being honest.
There have been MULTIPLE coaches leave the college ranks to join pro teams in the recent past. The trans will continue as more senior coaches (like CMS and others) just don’t want to do it.
I can’t really blame them either. When they were coming up the football coach was paid to coach football. Now they are a glorified marketing director and need a whole lotta math skills!
Have you ever run a business? Honest answer please, I'm not playing gotcha.BTW, UK may need to improve in this area, I’m not disputing this, but don’t tell me you’re stressed and “feel alone” when you make that much money.
And who can blame him? The snide/snarky comments directed at Stoops in these threads are misguided it seems to me. His suggestion to place Gran over NIL seems sane and sensible....and it's really not his responsibility to appoint someone to that position. That's more in line with the responsibilities of the AD. For the life of me I don't get why the AD is so reluctant to advance the NIL program. Maybe he doesn't like it, and that's OK, but it's the current law of the land and Barnhart needs to get on board.Sounds like a coach upset at all the time he has to spend on fundraising instead of coaching. Sounds like complete like of help and support from his boss & his staff, the AD and thr Athletic dept. It is 2024, and Barnhart still has the UK NIL support not even where other schools were in 2021.
Adopt the TN policy. They're sending part of their $50M TV money to donors who turn around and send it back as NIL. That's probably illegal but when has TN ever cared about that?i get rhe rules but at some point UK has to find a way for the massive SEC payout to be part of how players get paid ….it makes no sense for Stiops to hit up private employers and have this massiveness Sec money
Find a way to slush fund private money with Ky sweetheart deals to find this NIL pot and be done with it. This is not just Stoops…eons of coaches have not had great things to say with NIL
This is the issue for Stoops. And it existed before NIL about other things and it just got exacerbated by the constant fundraising nil requires for turnover of roster . Barnhart has never been a fundraising AD. He often salutes himself for ‘leaving his coaches alone’ as though he’s giving them autonomy but he has never seen it as though the department needs to do these certain actions so coaches can just coach.Sounds like a coach upset at all the time he has to spend on fundraising instead of coaching. Sounds like complete lack of help and support from his boss & his staff, the AD and thr Athletic dept. It is 2024, and Barnhart still has the UK NIL support not even where other schools were in 2021.
Maybe if you don't care about doing a good job or fielding a competitive team. I think Stoops cares about both.If I made around $750,000.00 per game coached, I don’t think I’d whine. I would be grateful and deal with the cards I was dealt with.
He makes that much money to Coach football. I'd be stressed too, regardless of how much money I was making if I wasn't getting the support needed to build a program worthy of the salary I'm being paid. He has to be the primary fundraiser now too. The University needs to start embracing NIL in a big way across all sports and the Administration needs to put some people or a team in place to do a lot of that fundraising and set up events so all Stoops has to do is go give a stump speech and show his face to make his pleas for dollars and he can stick to focusing on coaching instead of being a GM.BTW, UK may need to improve in this area, I’m not disputing this, but don’t tell me you’re stressed and “feel alone” when you make that much money.
Pretty sure those who are complaining would not be happy if they got hired to their jobs to make $100,000 per year, then got major things added to their job responsibilities. And that additional load given consumed you to the point you couldn't do what you love and what you were hired for in the first place.
People who make $40,000 would turn around and say to you, "I don't care that you have extra work. You make $60K more than me, so stop complaining." I bet your response to them would be different than your response is to Stoops frustration. ;-)
