Let’s be 100% honest, right now Iowa WBB deserves the same or more than MBB.
Ticket sales, wins, NCAA tourney, however you slice it.
Now think about the recruiting tool Iowa would have if they were top 5 in payments too.
However, UConn probably would just give 10% to FB and 80% to basketball.
It should be based on which programs actually make money and as of last year there were two teams that did. Football and MBB.Let’s be 100% honest, right now Iowa WBB deserves the same or more than MBB.

Let's be 100% honest. The money coming in is for TV is mostly for Men's Football and Men's basketball. Example, Mens basketball NCAA tourney contract is $1.1 Billion/yr and Women's is about $115 million/yr. The men's NIL requirements are higher because they have more market power/money chasing them.Let’s be 100% honest, right now Iowa WBB deserves the same or more than MBB.

For some lawyers, there is no harm in trying.Title 9 lawsuit incoming.
Agree with your take, but the danger of developing talent & not paying them... you know... they will transfer for the $$$$$. So I would add to this, once they've become first team starters the pay increases. Need to have incentives built into this for developed players to stick around.Look at Fran’s recruiting over the years. He is not getting the 4 & 5 star players. Should he pay 3* players the same rate as 5* players going to other schools? A roster of 2 & 3 star players should not get paid the same as Duke or Kentucky full of McDonalds all-Americans. If the extra money is not going to benefit results on the court, use part of it to WBB which an extra 100k might buy you another 5* getting closer to final fours.
The new NIL cap is going to reward schools who spend their money the smartest. Is it going to be teams paying out for superstars, or depth that are rewarded. Coaches who can find underrated team players at bargains will have more success than investing heavily in a prima Donna bust.
Iowa has very rarely succeeded in any sport off recruiting stars alone. Success is usually developing players where the team is greater than the individuals.

Does the cost of education come out of this amount, or is this in addition to the free education?

I have no idea what the cost of a women's game is, but when I was a kid the price was free or $5. At the same time, MBB tickets were in the $20-40 range.Let’s be 100% honest, right now Iowa WBB deserves the same or more than MBB.
