Will IOWA be giving its MBB players $3.6M/year from the up to $22M/school/year in revenue sharing that is to come?

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.

Note that Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported that the standard across the main 4 conferences will have 90% of the revenue share going to football and men's basketball players

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. 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.

Since You groove on Women's basketball, then pony up some NIL out of YOUR pocket and direct it to women's basketball. The women's ticket sales---sure, use that money for women's basketball.

Iowa should be divide the Revenue Sharing money to match typical splits at other P5/B1G schools and not be at a competitive disadvantage in Men's sports.
 
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.

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.

Keep in mind this is just revenue sharing from the school. I mentioned in the orig post that it could be $276,923 each year for each of the 13 scholarship players.

Regarding the highly ranked 4 and 5 star players: they will get this revenue sharing + the big NIL bucks that will still come from the millionaire/billionaire donors.

It will be interesting to see how they divyy up the money.

I agree with you; players like Dix, Payton & Owen should earn a lot more in revenue sharing than players like Brauns, Kingsbury and Mulvey.

I can't believe the numbers that follow but here goes.

Instead of all of the players getting $276,923 each year (as mentioned in the orig post), maybe allocate the $3.6M in revenue sharing this way:

$454,000--Dix
$454,000--Payton
$454,000--Owen

$276,923--Drew
$276,923--Brock
$276,923--Traore
$276,923--Tadjo
$276,923--Dembele
$276,923--Cooper
$276,923--Pryce


$100,000--Brauns
$100,000--Kingsbury
$100,000--Mulvey

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

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.

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.
