If I read that right, $1,025,000 to the softball team. Divided by 25 is $41,000 if it’s allocated evenly across the board.House settlement approves revenue sharing. Here's how Tennessee will pay players
University of Tennessee athletes will be paid revenue directly by the school, in addition to third-party NIL income. Here's how the new system works.www.knoxnews.com
These percentages will be the same at virtually every SEC school. I’ve been told that Mississippi State is going to allocate slightly less to men’s basketball and more to baseball, since they have all of those condos/suites at baseball and little premium seating at men’s basketball. But in general, 75/15/5/5 is going to be the breakdown most everywhere.
Baseball and softball are going from 11.7 and 12 scholarships to 35 and 25, respectively. That alone will make a massive difference in the financial situation of athletes in those sports. Since the majority of athletes in both sports are out of state students, going from a partial scholarship to a full is roughly equivalent to a $15,000 a year revenue share payment. Now the NIL money they earn on top of that will go into their pockets rather than making up the difference between their partial scholarship and actual cost of attendance.
