Iowa has already stated it will be able to pay the $20.5 million per year in revenue sharing. They've been planning for it.
The Athletic Department borrowed $50 million during the pandemic —it doesn't owe the University $235 million.
Will Title IX apply to NIL & Rev Sharing? If not, how should IOWA Football divide roughly $16M in Revenue Sharing between the 105 Roster Players?

I found it interesting that Doc wrote that this will receive an immediate court challenge and the DoE won't win.
Except players have contracts there. We need to get to that here.
Just renewed the season tickets today. First two home games are dogs, but rest should be pretty good.
Why? This would require the university to pay workers' compensation insurance premiums for "amateur" athletes. And if the University has to do that, how could they continue to afford the non-revenue sports? And wouldn't this open the door for all amateur athletes to sue for compensation at all levels of college athletics? I would think something like this could destroy athletics in the lower divisions like NAIA and Division III.
No, it isn't. This is actual debt funded by bonds/cash/cash equivalents, etc. It doesn't work the same way as the federal budget.
Nice attitude. That being said, they aren't employees. And if we ever see a place where college athletes are considered employees it will be an end to a majority of college athletics. Very few could ever afford to fund teams.
to be honest, I am surprised the NFL players are ok with the fact that quarterbacks earn such a high percentage of the salary cap.
sure, other stud NFL players get paid, but it is still at a fraction of what stud QBs are getting paid.

It's too bad these numbers are not disclosed.
Chad Leisikow reported that Gronowski is getting $1.3M. But is it all NIL? Or, for example, is $1.0M coming from donors/NIL and $300,000 coming from revenue sharing?
Seems to me that:
1) The athletes should have contracts.
2) These contracts should be payable, in part at the beginning of the season and part at the end (including performance incentives + bowl games). If they decide the forego the bowl games, or transfer then they forfeit the second check.

this was ridiculous to start with and now has gotten more so. no one is forcing these kids to play. there should be no more scholarships. they can pay from their earnings. tuition, books, food, lodging, insurance.
and now with 5 years of eligibility coming, these kids probably want to stick around in college as long as they can
it will be interesting to see how Iowa and other power conference teams divvy up roughly $16M per year
And a side note with 5 years coming and rev share does Juju stick around a year and break CC22's all time all gender scoring record in her 5th year? What will Swoopes have to say about that little inconsistency?
So I'm still fuzzy on that one. If you google the 5th year it still says as of Dec24th 2024 its 5 years to play 4 seasons. On Jan 9th of 2025 a player challenged this in court saying that if he's enrolled he should still be allowed to play in year 5. Is this a singular case by case or will the 5th year of actual play be the standard across the board?
It might be time to divorce athletics from schools. Sports can be played with an independent club system and run like a for-profit business.
Again, equality when it comes to revenue sharing and NIL payments likely will not survive with Trump being president.
It also likely won't survive a court case.

Dept. of Education: Title IX applies to athlete pay
The direct payment plans that many major college athletic departments are making for athletes would violate Title IX law, according to a Department of Education memo.
If true we are laying off people that could use these jobs, to pay players. Now that is a great idea.
It's crazy. Players will be getting:
* NIL payments
* Revenue sharing
* Free tuition
* Free housing
* Free food 24/7
* Free training facility access
* Free physical therapy
* Free personal training
* Free coaching

Pretty sure football players and MBB players will all be safe under the new Trump administration.
