Best job in America is fired head football coach and no one will convince me otherwise. You get other opportunities in coaching and broadcasting forever no matter what your results were and you keep collecting your buyout money while getting paid by your new employer

LSU coach Brian Kelly said when asked if LSU was spending $18 million in NIL payments to the players that it was "about right".

Compared to Cal, they have over twice as many butts in the seats for every game, sometimes even closer to 3 times as many. So, you have that revenue even before you start counting the SEC dollars.
I don't think this is all that surprising...

But they are absolutely not employees. Nope. Given that the presumption that all workers are employees unless the hiring entity can satisfy all of the following (e.g., ABC test):

  • The worker is free from the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact;
  • The worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity's business; and
  • The worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.
