I think it's a new world. If we greatly reduce salaries for some HC positions, I suspect that many other schools will do the same thing, affecting the market price for, say, WBB head coaches. I know I'm living in the Dark Ages -- well, actually, quarantine -- but $1.3 million for Coach P seemed ridiculous at the time and seems ludicrous now.
