gross
The nil is pay to play.pay to play is alive and hell
He was going to get fired likely. Kentucky was ready for a change despite the expensive buy out.I read this earlier. Surprised he went to Arkansas.
This is yet another reason why I'll never give to The Swarm.
Tv revenue and ticket sales don’t go to the players, goes to the school.Well that’s actually peanuts compared to NBA total team roster salaries; where the salary cap is $136,000,000 and teams can go over that.
Obviously NBA is the best of the best.
$136,000,000 vs $5,000,000
What’s this tell me?? In one sense it tells me college athletes are just scratching the surface for what they could get paid.
Agree, with the edit that it goes to the athletic program where almost all of it is spent.Tv revenue and ticket sales don’t go to the players, goes to the school.

College will never ever come close to that. Nil is mostly funded by a few rich boosters. Only the truly elite get real deals on their own.
I agree in today’s snapshot. But my guess is this whole thing will continue to evolve to mirror a true professional league model with rules around compensation, tv revenue schools, coaches and players.Tv revenue and ticket sales don’t go to the players, goes to the school.

He's close friends with a member of the Tyson chicken family and has dinner with him when UK is in Fayetteville. Lexington doesn't want him anymore, so a lot of financial backing and a fresh start.I read this earlier. Surprised he went to Arkansas.
don’t see it. The lawsuits would fly if every athlete at a school didn’t get an equal share.Seems inevitable that the players eventually become employees and can share in TV revenue, ticket sales, etc.
The sooner that happens, the better, for a school like Iowa.

Also wouldnt change anything but give the athletic department a lot less money to work with. The pie is only so big and more TV/Ticket money in athlete’s pocket means less for facilities and coaching salaries.
Also wouldn’t stop boosters from paying more to certain players which means nothing would change in terms of portal and transfers. Because nobody is every going to say “ I am happy with my diluted cut of TV money, I don’t need the booster’s $500,000+”.
Tighten the portal window and force them to sit a year or play and lose a year of eligibility is what is needed.
Title IX lawyers would line up.Not all athletes would need to be paid the same, just like not all coaches are paid the same.

Pay For Play is a professional concept, not an amateur concept.

You don’t have any money to give anyway.This is yet another reason why I'll never give to The Swarm.

Which is horseshitTitle IX lawyers would line up.
Women's Crew is proof.
This shows you one thing: available NIL funds are a BIG draw when coaches are considering jobs.

Be that as it may, this is the current landscape of college athletics. You either have to play the game or get left in the dust. Here at Iowa, we love that gritty sensation on our molars and in our eyes.This is yet another reason why I'll never give to The Swarm.

Big time coaches won’t want to go to a program without great NIL support. Problematic for all those fans who demand we hire a great basketball coach but refuse to contribute to the program
Not all athletes would need to be paid the same, just like not all coaches are paid the same.
I think this angle is being overlooked. We've seen it before with Phil Knight and Boone Pickens. That's about to be the norm.Instead of owning a NBA or NFL franchise, become a big booster at a college program and control it like you own it.
NIL has ruined college sports in record timeSome of this was already going on under the table. Now that it is uncontrolled and everywhere, but Iowa BB can apparently only offer pennies on the dollar at other schools. It is ridiculous. I guess I am just too old fashioned.
There are only a handful of schools with billionaire sugar-daddies that shovel $$ at their alma mater's athletic dept. The majority get it from a group of pretty wealthy alumni and the general fanbase. Iowa has wealthy alumni, but I just don't think many of them shovel $$ into the Iowa athletic dept like at other schools.we just don't have alumni with deep pockets, unfortunately
and I agree with you; the Iowa job is not very attractive as a result
