This is only the tip of the iceberg as far as coaches leaving the game. I agree with Bennett in that players should be compensated, but as you said this is currently a very broken system - both NIL and the portal - that needs to be fixed and soon. College athletics has always been a "minor league system" for the NFL, NBA, even MLB. Now with the pay and portal college athletics has become an official mess of a minor league system.
