Jimbo Fisher isn’t the drawback. The individuals who maintain losing hundreds of thousands on males like him are — as they’re normally the identical ones who act like they’re poor every time student-athlete compensation is mentioned.
Fisher is out in College Station after going 45-25, as his file feels prefer it was worse than that given the previous couple of seasons. Since the 2020 COVID season, the Aggies have been 19-15 and had misplaced 10 of their final 15 video games in opposition to Power 5 groups.
But, that was solely a part of it.
Fisher’s failure on the sidelines seems to be even worse while you evaluate him to the man he changed, Kevin Sumlin — Texas A&M’s first Black head soccer coach.

Now he’ll obtain greater than $76 million after getting fired due to his buyout.
“Let me be very clear in this next part: Texas A&M athletics and the 12th Man Foundation will be the sole sources of the necessary funds covering these transition costs,” Bjork defined.
Every athlete at Texas A&M, and all through the nation, must be giving the brass at their establishments the side-eye. The money has at all times been there. They just don’t need to give it to the individuals who make the money — the gamers.
Don’t be fooled, NIL isn’t the reply to participant compensation. It’s a Band-Aid on a damaged arm, because it doesn’t give gamers their rightful piece of a multibillion-dollar business.
“You might regret asking Congress to intervene here . . . I’d be real careful about inviting Congress to micro-manage your business . . .

The kids make this all possible,” John Kennedy (Louisiana’s Republican Senator) advised NCAA President Charlie Baker in a latest report from USA Today Sports on the latest NIL listening to on Capitol Hill.
“I think we’ve got to find some way to give these student-athletes a voice. Currently, I think there’s a huge power disparity,” added Josh Hawley, the Republican Senator from Missouri.
The NCAA has been flailing ever since the day NIL began, which has led to this second as a result of, as a substitute of determining a profitable method to implement it, they spent all their time preventing one thing inevitable. And as time goes on, persons are beginning to notice that NIL isn’t even shut to being sufficient for the gamers. Texas A&M’s dealing with of Jimbo Fisher just gave the athletes extra leverage of their struggle. Because if there’s sufficient money to pay off dangerous head coaches, then there’s absolutely sufficient to spend on nice gamers.
Jimbo Fisher isn’t the drawback. The individuals who maintain losing hundreds of thousands on males like him are — as they’re normally the identical ones who act like they’re poor every time student-athlete compensation is mentioned.
Fisher is out in College Station after going 45-25, as his file feels prefer it was worse than that given the previous couple of seasons. Since the 2020 COVID season, the Aggies have been 19-15 and had misplaced 10 of their final 15 video games in opposition to Power 5 groups.
But, that was solely a part of it.
Fisher’s failure on the sidelines seems to be even worse while you evaluate him to the man he changed, Kevin Sumlin — Texas A&M’s first Black head soccer coach. Sumlin was 51-26 throughout his tenure with the Aggies, and whereas he was there longer than Fisher, he additionally had the solely 11-win season Texas A&M had loved since 1998. His tenure — with the assist of Johnny Manziel and Mike Evans — is what lifted expectations at the college for them to go after a coach with a nationwide championship on his resume like Fisher has — thanks to Jameis Winston.
“The assessment that I delivered was that we are not reaching our full potential,” stated Texas A&M Athletic Director Ross Bjork about Fisher’s firing, including that the program was “stuck in neutral.”
“We are not in the championship conversation and something was not quite right about our direction and the plan. We should be relevant on the national scene.”
When Fisher got here to College Station from FSU, he signed a 10-year, $75 million totally assured deal in 2017. In 2021, his contract extension took his annual wage from $7.5 million to $9 million because it was price $95 million assured in complete. Now he’ll obtain greater than $76 million after getting fired due to his buyout.
“Let me be very clear in this next part: Texas A&M athletics and the 12th Man Foundation will be the sole sources of the necessary funds covering these transition costs,” Bjork defined.
Every athlete at Texas A&M, and all through the nation, must be giving the brass at their establishments the side-eye. The money has at all times been there. They just don’t need to give it to the individuals who make the money — the gamers.
Don’t be fooled, NIL isn’t the reply to participant compensation. It’s a Band-Aid on a damaged arm, because it doesn’t give gamers their rightful piece of a multibillion-dollar business.
“You might regret asking Congress to intervene here . . . I’d be real careful about inviting Congress to micro-manage your business . . . I’ve got a lot of sympathy for the kids, I’ve got to tell you. The kids make this all possible,” John Kennedy (Louisiana’s Republican Senator) advised NCAA President Charlie Baker in a latest report from USA Today Sports on the latest NIL listening to on Capitol Hill.
