The new house settlement, which produces what many are referring to as a salary cap for colleges, is creating problems for lower-level Division I programs. UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor took the podium at the media days for the American Athletic Conference and spoke openly and candidly about the challenges facing Group of Five programs in the new revenue-sharing landscape.
According to Traylor, G5 coaches and administrators are facing several major issues. Things like not knowing what other teams can afford, whether players and agents are being honest about the other deals they have on the table, how to secure funding, and what it looks like to compete financially in the AAC.
