re: Out of state tuition and room and board is about 50k per year

If your attending school and playing for "your" school , you should not get paid. Jmo.

So in your opinion, if a player is so good that they create a name for themselves and become a star with a massive following, they should not be allowed to profit off of that?

Your theories on how much money football programs pull in. There’s an actual account you can find online but instead you used some kind of gorilla math to increase by 20x what it really is. Here are the actual numbers from last seasons top 25 programs.

---

I said that athletic departments in the power 5 conferences generated about $6.7 billion, among 67 schools (as of 2023), at an average of about $100 million each.

Your own link says that the top 25 athletic departments bring in $4.4 billion in annual revenue, with an average revenue of $177 million.

But you think I did some “gorilla math to increase by 20x what it really is”?

ETA: The total from your second link is actually higher than what I said. The top 50 alone add up to more than 7 billion.

And yet you haven't provided one solution for this massive problem that you are bitching about.

Again, you’re failing to understand that THEY ARE NON-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS.

They mostly stay in the black because revenues have been rising faster than expenses (largely due to TV contracts) but they literally can’t take profits. Sometimes successful programs choose to transfer surpluses back to their universities. Most of the time they spend those surpluses to grow the athletics program, because it’s turned into an arms race.

As I pointed out several pages back, this is an arms race that the schools themselves created when they sued the NCAA over media rights back in 1981. It’s been building ever since then, and we are reaching the inevitable conclusion.

The funny thing is.. if there’s truly not a market/no money available for the players, then the schools don’t have to pay anything. The House settlement doesn’t require schools to allocate $20 million for revenue sharing. It caps revenue sharing at 20%. If there’s no money available, why would the individual schools pay anything?

I think the reality that most people expect is that schools with the most money will pay, and the rest will be forced to pay if they want to keep up. The schools with the most money are primarily in that position because [checks notes] that’s the landscape that the power conferences chose back in 1981 when they sued the NCAA.

if people are willing to give away their money pay for someone because of their status, I guess not. I mean think about it, why in the world would anyone want to pay someone because they can play football in hs or college? I'm just ole school and don't believe in nil for 1 second. A hs/college student athlete can earn his keep in the NFL if he is good enough. The old way where a school paid for everything that student athlete needed was good enough. The amount of money spent on each player before NIL was alot of money. College athletics should not be about money, if it is, it isn't real football and pure anymore.

Think about this. Take every player on lsu's team and move them to John Melvin univ. ....you think John Melvin will pack it 100k strong for one of their games? Nope.


Always remember when players play for lsu, LSU or any good team, is why the stadium is packed, not because of the players. LSU(Bama, osu, ut, uga etc) makes the player not the other way around.

The flip side of this argument is:

Take every player from John Melvin University and put them on LSU’s team. Give it 10 years. What do you think it does to LSU’s athletic revenue?

Take the difference between:
A) LSU’s revenue with the John Melvin players over an extended period of time, and
B) LSU’s revenue with actual LSU players over an extended period of time.

Whatever that number is, it’s roughly the value that the players are providing to the university. The number certainly isn’t 100% of current athletic departments revenue, but it’s not 0% either.

Another totally nonsensical post. Congrats, you’re the jilted fanboy of a poster you hate.
