First revenue sharing agreement

quote:

I hope there is enough brains in the AD that LSU needs to start thinking like professional teams. And not rely on these bullshite NIL John Deer deals for players.

It’s a move in the right direction, but is still going to be a shite show for a while. Title IX applies to rev sharing, but no one has given any guidance on what that actually means from a percentage standpoint. Expect that to end up in the courts at some future date when some women’s soccer player decides she’s worth every bit as much as QB 1.

Also, I expect the unlimited transfer bullshite to be hashed out, but how will outside NIL deals and collectives be dealt with? Will they still be allowed in addition to rev sharing and uncapped? Who’s going to police it all?

I hate to sound negative, but I expect this to be an untamed frontier for longer than any of us hope.

And get fired after they don’t make the roster and be uneducated.
F them all. Stop the fraud called amateur college sports.

Agreed

Won't revenue sharing simply raise the floor for compensation while NIL simply exists as it always has on top of the revenue sharing?

How does revenue sharing fix anything? Serious question.

These are all unknowns. It’s assumed that the collectives with go away, but the NIL deals like Cane’s, Get Gordon, etc. will likely remain in place. How that piece will be policed to avoid what we all know it will become is the multi-billion dollar question.

I do expect the big thing rev sharing and “collective bargaining” is likely to change is the unlimited transfer bullshite though, so that will be big.

the NFL doesn’t want that
the College Athletic Departments don’t want that
the Players don’t want that
most fans don’t want that

Probably not

It's not probably not. It just isn't. A high school game outdraws UFL games. UFL requires betting to be somewhat marketable. I only see one outcome long term. Kids get paid NIL and become university employees. Other than that, there's no place this kids would go, NIL caps will be considered illegal, and there's too much infrastructure in place at schools that they would miss out in a UFL type situation. CFB will be here in 20 years. It will look way different, but nothing is going to replace it in our lifetimes.

If $200,000 in free education, housing, food, etc isn’t enough compensation, they can go get a real job and earn money.

As much money as they're now making, they need to start paying for all of that.

Along with their own athletic development outside of team practices and games and educational development.

$ spent on facilities, coaching staff including advisors, training staff, athletic support staff, and tutoring along with other academic help needs to be reduced if not cut completely with some.

If they want to go pro they can train themselves or hire someone. Same with additional hands on coaching/teaching of the sport.

If they need help in school they can pay for it. If they need help getting out of trouble they can also pay for it themselves.

Getting admitted and a full scholarship is a complete gift for some players with poor academic records.

They can also cover all health related expenses outside injuries during practices and games.

They can take money out of their shared revenue and NIL to pay their family and/or get them jobs.

Obviously under the table paying has to completely stop if not already done, but its replacement of getting donors to fund NIL to buy players also needs to stop. True NIL and revenue sharing should be more than enough. Any school wanting to continue buying needs to form their own minor league.

Many seem to think players were getting nothing back from the university, so none of the above should affect them.
