re: Will Bo and/or other asst coaches stick around if LSU not buying players?

If they allow schools to directly compensate players then yes they can cap
It either per player or by only allowing a certain amount they can spend total. But there needs to be severe consequences if schools cheat that cap or total. Like SEVERE!! Almost death penalty severe. But you are right about not capping what outside NIL they get but they make it a multi year contract to protect program and player from backing out early.
