The article on the court approval decision is 20.5 million for athletes. expectation that 90% allocated for football and men's basketball.

basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball , track

how would you lobby for the allocations? and include the growth and increasing tv revenue for women's collegiate sports, and the importance of top teams.

Sure it depends somewhat on generated revenue of which football is the big leader followed by Men's basketball, Women's basketball and then Men's baseball. I still think 70 percent should be the football share and men's basketball should come in at 10 percent. Women's basketball at 5 percent is fine and then baseball should get 5 percent as well. Softball and couple other sports the other 10 percent.

The actual pay is 18 million with 2.5 million allocated for scholarships. This comes out to 158 thousand per football player, 120 thousand per basketball player, 60 thousand per women's basketball player. Of course you don't have to pay each player equally.Looks like each will have a contract that pays them their amount and if they decide to transfer would owe money back. So a lot of litigation coming.

Tennessee seems to be ahead of the game with their new probable 20 million shoe and apparel contract and their talent fee. Looks like they will be keeping most of their 20.5 million by getting revenue from these other two sources.

Really need contracts and collective bargaining which would really help with the transfer portal being such a problem for schools. Hopefully deals are year to year you wouldn't want to still be playing a player that transferred and is playing for someone else.

I’d use the Rev Share across the whole roster. Then I’d look for marketing deals thru the collective to land/keep my best.

I wouldn’t sign the agreement with the NCAA. You can’t put earning limits on anyone, the whole settlement structure will not stand up in court when challenged.

Aggregate salary caps are standard operating procedure in all the pro major sports, so this court-approved legal settlement will most definitely stand up in court.

As an NCAA athlete, I could still go out and make a billion dollars in personal NIL deals. This cap only applies to the total volume of $ that each D1 school can divide up to directly pay its athletes. Those school-direct payments are just one of many revenue streams now available to D1 athletes.

You were correct up to the comma. Court-approved legal settlements are sometimes upheld on appeal, and are sometimes overturned.

The court-approved settlement
did not prescribe actions to make the division of funds compliant with Title IX, nor did it address whether that should be a consideration. Further legal squabbling is likely.

No sports beyond football (75%), men's basketball (15%), women's basketball (5%) and baseball/softball (splitting 5%) are receiving revenue share at SEC schools.

Agreed but I was focusing on the claim that the imposition of a "salary cap" would not withstand legal challenges. The specifics of this current settlement may change (particularly the designation of athletes, which currently stops short of classifying them as employees) but caps on how much a school can spend on athlete salaries I am pretty confident, will be a foundational component of any future agreement.

Yes, that was your second paragraph, and you nailed it, so to speak.xxxIn short, a salary cap from one revenue source is not an earnings cap for any individual.

Has anyone read articles on the growth of sports agents for juniors in high school girls who play basketball.


Assume the earlier statistic of $60k x 4 = 240k guaranteed without special NIL deals. an agent can only benefit from the extra-NIL deals.

summary: if a summer league coach/agent is trying to guide his player to a chosen school his incentive is under the table funds from the university. What legal or non-specifie pot does his funds come?

You/we can read the articles and commentary - however the coaches must navigate hurdles far more difficult than comparing locker rooms and training facilities Or even promising playing time. Am I the only one who reviews recruiting high school 16-17 girls with a sense of humor and by the way, I almost got several former player or the coaching staff in trouble because I had several players over for dinner - back in the day

This didn’t have any thing to do with grilling on the deck? 😉
