How should IOWA Football divide roughly $16M in Revenue Sharing between the 105 Roster Players?

[Franisdaman]

It won't happen, but if Iowa divided $16M evenly among the 105 players (85 scholarship, 20 walk ons), each player would receive $152,380.

If Iowa gave each of the 20 walk ons $10,000, that would leave $15,800,000 for the 85 scholarship players. If each of the 85 players were paid equally, each scholarship player would receive $185,882.

The $16M figure is based on what follows.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

Triple the average salary for an Iowan.

Strange days indeed.

 

[SDHawkDoc]

College football money distribution is cutthroat. Essentially the opposite of a socialist structure. Equal distribution of funds is a quaint notion that will not work. This is now pro football. Salary structure will be closer to the NFL. QBs are already making big bucks relatively, reflecting there NFL counterparts.

How much revenue does the average Iowan help generate?

The average Iowan doesn't generate as much revenue for themselves or their companies as these kids do.

Million dolla punter baby!

 

[HawkeyeGenius]

Evenly, then they'll still be able to get NIL on the side. It'll be absolutely incredible if a bunch of 18-22 year olds complain about getting $152K a year.

 

[pistachio1999]

I did see Dochterman state that he believes Logan Jones will be a preseason All American. He graded out very highly by PFF for the season.

I don't hear any of them complain now.

Impossible. Our OL experts on here say hes terrible.

It would be interesting if QBs earn MUCH more than anyone else

And if a player is named an All American, do you offer to pay him A LOT more in order to return the following season?

If we pay a punter $1,000,000 I think I’m probably looking for a different team.

 

[jberesford]

Probably divide it based upon their relative value. The statistically superior players get more, others get less. Kinda like how all the other pro leagues do it...

 

[nosok23]

Logan probably get drafted between 4th-6th rd if he came out. I think the line can be even better next season with the right single caller. You have Dunker man ing 1 tackle spot the other tackle spot is critical! Don't know who it will be but they need a haus to protect that backside. Guard play will probably be Stephens who made some slight improvements. The other guard spot will be fine. I do think they got some guys that are up and coming to add depth. I hope I'm right because next years schedule is a big time test for the Hawks. Offense needs to start doing something as the Defense will more than likely take a step back. Still not a fan of keeping Budmeyer as the receivers coach. He has shown little with what he brings to the table with the wideouts.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

How much revenue does the average Iowan help generate?

Really neither does the average player. There are very very few players truly worth anything.
Pay should have always been based on all conference/all American. Academic all conference etc.
big money to consensus all Americans and even more to award winners.
Most kids playing have earned room and board and their extra cash. That’s it.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

Within 10 years we will have a large number of people playing 8 years of college sports.
3years at juco then 5 at a university.
The net result is there will be far less boys playing college football and a continuation of the decline in hs numbers.
Attendance will slow when the fans tire of seeing poor performances and less local kids playing.
People will look at the Wild West that college athletics has become and wish for student athletes again.

 

[Birky]

Impossible. Our OL experts on here say hes terrible.

There are many.

Only eclipsed by the QB experts who let us all know every QB Iowa recruits needs to “work on his footwork and delivery.”

 

[kmurp]

The interesting thing to me about this is that Texas Tech is planning on distributing the full amount even though they are a Big12 team. I was under the mistaken impression that the Bigten and SEC would be the only conferences that would be able to afford this. I was hoping we could eventually distance ourselves from ISU with a larger payroll but maybe that’s not the case.

Already there. Tally up the squandered monies of portal recruitment (re-recruitment) and 🤮 like me reading the Government CR. No thanks, I’m not insane.

Like Jack said in LOST, "we have to go back".

Since we aren't going back anytime soon, they need to implement a few things.
Contracts
Salary Cap across the board

I think in ten years we might see individuals contributing to NIL less. They will find out the money doesn’t translate to wins.

it will dry up but institutions with very big megadonors (billionaires etc) will be able to withstand the peaks and valleys that exist when passing out big money to people that haven't earned it.

 

[HawksRule73]

It'll get divided up the same as it gets divided up in the NFL. By how important the position is overall. So my guess is that it will be in this order:
1. QB
2. LT
3. Rush End
4. CB
5. All others

Without all those average players you don’t have a team and all that revenue goes bye-bye.

"Punting is winning" wasn't enough to make you move on already?

 

[oldxbbc]

I must be pretty naive, did not think all/most of the scholarship players received some NIL money ontop of the scholarship. Am I assuming correctly here?

To be clear, you were under the impression that only certain players were getting NIL money?

Even the walk-ons are getting some NIL money.

 

[DutchyFunStar]

Give everyone a base, then the rest can be incentivized based of snap counts or things like all conference, practice team player of the week, etc....

 

[Hawk_4shur]

Pay everyone the same. Let the NIL money pay more for the stars.

 

[squeezebox]

Seems like a great opportunity to set the cap, and not allow any further NIL money to be necessary.

Schools have a cap each year when it comes to revenue sharing. It really does feel like the NFL

Jamie Pollard has stated that they will not be able to afford paying out up to $22M annually

So, Iowa should have an advantage when it comes to revenue sharing with players.

When it comes to NIL? Not sure which school has the advantage. NOTE, however, that the Clown MBB program has a sugar daddy.

there is a cap when it comes to revenue sharing.

if you try to cap NIL, the player will sue and the NCAA keeps losing in court.

What a scholarship student athlete will be getting:

* Revenue sharing payments from the school
* NIL income
* Free tuition
* Free housing
* Free, Unlimited healthy Food
* Free Training & Weight Room access
* Free Personal Training
* Free Physical Therapy

I am sure I missed something but the value of the above is pretty incredible, especially for an out of state student.

Any player that volunteers gets paid from the SWARM NIL fund.

Big acquisitions ALSO get paid via SWARM Inc, funded by the big time donors.

How do you figure? The athletic department owes the university $235.1 million.

This Iowan will proudly donate nothing! This NIL stuff is a bridge too far for me. Sorry. Until there are done regulations and serious oversight involved, not one damn cent of my $$ goes any where but to me. This whole deal has a real “old fish” smell to it. Wasn’t the idea that was used to sell NIL to enable the player to have $$ to buy a hamburger….not own the ‘burger franchise!
