NCAA NIL Estimated Revenue and scholarships 2025

I suppose that would be one method, but it seems like this settlement is trying to neuter the collectives, and thinly disguised booster payments to athletes that they call NIL.

 

They'll work around that. There's already some agencies setting up shop to run collectives for multiple schools. Their deals wouldn't be from a booster or school sponsored collective. The court system isn't going to let the ncaa completely block the money from getting to the athletes. If the fanbases want to pay the players, I don't see any way the ncaa will be able to keep them from doing so. The courts have already outright said they won't allow it.

 

That would decrease the incentive to fund those agencies. Boosters pay money to collective to buy players for their school. They aren't making real deals for actual NIL. If their ability to funnel money directly to players that they want on their team is no longer available the funds would probably dry up or go back under the table where it used to be.

 

They can figure out how to get the money where you want it to go. Not one big pot divided up evenly between multiple schools, several small pots. You send your money to the pot you want to. Or they just go back to bags, but the money being tossed around nowadays is really too big for that. The schools that want to keep paying these guys hundreds of thousands and millions will continue to do it and they’ll figure out how.

 

I do think they will figure it out because they always have. I do think there will be some Title IX challenges because from what it sounds like some of these AD's are proposing that they will funnel up to 90% of the revenue share to Football and Men's Basketball. If that happens, I can't imagine that not triggering a Title IX challenge considering I expect gobs of lawyers lining up to get their pound of flesh in this whole ridiculous mess.

 

Just paid for my 2025 tickets. Price surged over 21 %. Thanks to all who begged and pleaded for NIL and revenue sharing. Appreciate it.

 

and they will keep going up unless you say enough is enough. Fans are getting screwed over, but you can always say no.

 

Getting closer and closer to that eventuality...

 

I think this says it all regarding the impact of NIL. I could have posted it another thread. Ohio State the best college team that money can buy.
Ohio State’s $20 million roster is proving to be worth it

 

The Bucknuts have the best roster and highest payroll, not a coincidence. Georgia and Texas are right up there to. I bet Notre Dame is not though, yet.

 

It will be very interesting to see how this all shakes out.

 

Some colleges would love for it to be limited again so they could go back to their advantage of bags.

 

Gtfooh, thats pathetic. Maybe the women's soccer team should be paid the same as the mens too.

 

Crazy how they made schools that werent paying players foot their bill.

 

Title lx is just plain stupid. Its bad enough that any kid thinks its his/her right to even play sports in the first place. Sports that generate an income vs sports tgat are dead weight financially need to be seperated legally. Titleix should only affect non revenue sports and football shouldnt be legally obligated to finance every other financial drain of a sport in a program. There are sports programs that dont have football yet have sports programs. Why does football owe everyone that wants to play sports? Go get your own money like the real world.

 

Payments to the school are tax deductible and the school gets to control all the money. They are just trying to control it all and limit the outgoing cash so they can keep more and gain advantage back. Its not going to work. Players unions have proven that and now the courts have sided with the players. We all live by the same laws. The supreme court didnt make college football laws, just enforced the existing ones we all live by. I want my bag too.

 

What is the weirdest thing to me is how NCAA and College officials are classifying this news as unexpected. This was 100% going to happen. Even the Title IX lawyers were saying there would immediately be lawsuits to that regard. The whole settlement idea was dumb and flawed to begin with. It looks like more litigation on the horizon for the NCAA or back to the drawing board on how to handle the mess that escaped from the Pandora's box they purposely opened.

 

Gotta love politicians. Last I checked Title IX was created while Nixon was President. Additionally, its not the current administration that is attempting to change the dynamic of college sports, its the colleges trying to get around long established policies in order to keep their stranglehold on the college football and basketball revenue stream. If these players want to be directly paid, the colleges are ultimately going to have to spin off these activities to exist under the umbrella of another organization that isn't controlled by the college (like the UAA is now).
