NIL - Do I have this right?

From what I've read, LSU gets $21.5 million to distribute as payment for NIL. The school plans to allocate 75% to football. LSU has 85 (I think) football scholarships. So
$21,500,000 X 75% ÷ 85 = $189,705 per scholarship player.
That's nuts! Please tell me where I'm wrong.

NIL is not the same as rev share. And each player doesn’t get the same amount of rev share.

It is not an even distribution. The programs can allocate the money between the 85 however they see fit. Think of it like an NFL team managing the salary cap.

Divide by 105 and it's still a big number. I'm sure that Nuss is gonna get more than anyone else, but there'll still be a lot left for for the ones watching from the bench.

No. The 21.5 million revenue sharing is not in any way NIL.
This one is going to be difficult. It's been years and 50% of this board hasn't figured out what NIL is. Now you add this wrinkle, and it's going to get 10 times worse.

Nuss got paid by the collective. Younger guys are getting the rev share money.

The math is good. One technicality- this is revenue sharing, not NIL. Players from any sport can get NIL but they have to use the NIL portal (NIL go) for any deal over $600 and have their deal authorized by Deloitte as 'fair market value.' Failure to use Deloitte/NIL go can lead to a suspension or ban by NCAA. No university has jurisdiction/responsibility over the NIL payments, only revenue sharing. Also, the 21.5 amount will grow 4% a year and be reevaluated at the end of 3 years.

What I want to know is that there are obviously players who are more important. Will Nuss, Whit Weeks, Anderson, DJ Pickett get the same amount as a 3 star or walk on?
Also I think it's 105, not 85 players. I heard that number on XM channel 84.

If it's like the NBA, they sort out the revenue sharing once the season is over, where I'm sure most of your starters/priority players get the bigger cut vs. 4th string long snapper.

Are you just now realizing this?
Yes , players are going to make bank.
