I'm not sure what's effective and what's not but it seems these are Sha's NIL/Budget principles. Do others agree or disagree?
1- He's not willing to pay going-rate for players in the Portal who have not proven themselves at SH.
2- Wants players to come in and earn their spot and salary. This is a good stance but loses effectiveness if you can't afford to keep your own players once they do prove themselves.
3- This year he seems to prefer paying many players around the same rate rather than pay for 1 or 2 good players to lead the team. Last year he had a terrible budget and gave most of it to his 3 returning starters. This year he seems to want to spread it out as much as possible to have 10 capable players.
4- He seems unwilling to raise his initial offers much. If he makes an offer and that player gets a higher offer, Sha says take it or leave it.
5- SH still seems far behind most Power 5 schools in NIL budget. Seems we are working with somewhere between $1.0M and $1.4M not $1.5-2.0M.
