It isn’t just Ole Miss by the way. They are just one example. Tennessee did the same thing
everything I've seen has Tennessee's breakdown as:
75% football
15% MBB
5% WBB
5% to everything else
where are you getting the numbers for Ole Miss and Tennessee?
And I really don't see how anyone could say baseball is "getting screwed" just because they're good. Regardless of whether they're good, this is about revenue, not valuing winning. Baseball produces a fraction of the revenue of football, mens bb, and womens bb, so they're going to get a much much smaller fraction of the revenue sharing. Our program more thgan makes up with it with the NIL we're able to pay, so maybe relax

Clearly you didn't look at women's basketball.

Ok “dumbfrick” and Jay has, wait for it, TWO national championships

o one said they were struggling. But I can tell you for a fact that Jay was not happy with the way revenue sharing was set up. Baseball shouldn't be lumped in with all the sports besides football/MBB/WBB
Every coach should be fighting for their program - If they aren't they aren't doing their job.
One of my bigger issues with CMM is that I don't see that he is. I think the PR campaign for hoops at the end of the year was largely started and worked by others.

Somehow Jay Johnson will survive. If it’s a problem Jay will bring it up. Plus we have an arrangement outside of the 20.5 which is complicated

They have 1/3 the number of players compared to _?
is this satire or are you just retarded? I clearly stated that I was comparing the roster size and revenue share of WBB vs baseball And BTW Jay has more championships and will continue to win more than Kim will in a more entertaining and better revenue sport. So you're entire argument is moot because you cut off my post

This is the first year under Jay that we haven't landed a top 20 portal player. We usually land multiple players.
There is no excuse for other universities to give 2 and 3 million of revenue sharing to baseball and we give $400, 000. Jay doesn't need more than other universities but he should get equal what other top universities do. If Arkansas can give their program 3 million, shouldn't Jay get close to that?

so much ignorance here. Should they have more in the revenue sharing? Yes. But LSU NIL in baseball is at the top of the sport with Marrucci, Nike baseball, Lipsey’s etc.
Wow!! I’ll be sure to tell Coach that the next time he gives me the info I just gave you.

You sir are an idiot. College baseball aside for like 8 schools, no one cares about as evidence by the tv deals and rev share. College basketball is way more profitable than baseball. So if you want more revenue to be shared, then you have to put the money in the sports that generate the most revenue. Even at LSU the pinnacle of college baseball, they are barely profitable and in some years are revenue negative.
Each win in March madness is worth $2million to the conference. So the more teams, and wins the more revenue that’s shared.
Last years womens basketball national championship averaged 4.85 million viewers combined across THREE networks (ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU).
Texas A&M and Tennessee averaged 2.92 million on a single channel with basically no marketing in comparison to womens basketball being shoved down our throats 24/7. LSU and Coastal was 2.78.
NCAA womens basketball popularity growth is a complete fallacy outside of Caitlin Clark. College baseball is growing and it is growing fast.

It’s hard to describe the look on his face and the tone of his voice when he spoke about revenue sharing and NIL. We were told at that luncheon that money to the Coaches Committee could no longer be used like it used to for the players. Everything had to go through the clearinghouse. Coach J was adamant, he needed the revenue sharing to match that of the Top 5 in the SEC.
When a man repeats himself 8-10X, you better listen. He made it quite clear that things needed to change. We all understood that day that he would likely leave if things didn’t change.

Baseball has several private donors that make up the difference but I do agree with your point. Excellence should be rewarded.
More than, from what I’ve been told. Essentially they don’t get it because they don’t even somewhat need it

You can’t be this ignorant that clearly it doesn’t matter. Chief Jay takes what he wants. Shut up, dude.
Posted on 1/15/26 at 1:42 pm to Sheppards Pie
It will be fine. I'm sure that baseball has more NIL contributors than basketball, and they've added that into the equation.
There are about to be alot of big leaguers making boatload of cash. Bregman's seasoning or hot sauce or whatever it is is gonna have some spokesmen for sure.

All of this is accurate.
And the college baseball/MLB relationship is starting to creep closer to what the NFL and NBA have with their college counterparts, which will only increase interest and eyeballs.
The 2023 CWS had nearly double digit players in it that made it to the majors within a year of being drafted. One of them is the best pitcher in the National League, a different one had quite possibly the best offensive game in MLB history.
With the anticipated move of further shortening the draft and potentially removing another rung of minor league baseball, college baseball is only going to get more talent moving through it, which will increase the popularity further.

Did you do the math for each sport?
As a percent of total "Team sports" revenue from the chart:
Football 82.9%
Men's Basketball 8.93%
Women's BB 1.8%
Baseball 5.33%
All others 1.05%
So baseball is getting screwed, basketball is benefitting on both mens and womens side. And this is as of June 2024, I would bet men's basketball has fallen, WBB might be up since then. Baseball is likely up. Football is down
Posted on 1/15/26 at 1:57 pm to Yeti_Chaser
I agree plus they lose money every year.
Posted on 1/15/26 at 1:59 pm to Hermit Crab
Yes. So 90% should go to football & basketball, the 2 sports that make money
