Coaches think 75% of the money will go to football…not sure how the rest will be split up.

Honest question, what would this mean for our Olympic Program? Would we lose dominance in that?

You can bet your bottom dollar on that. The 21 million dollar court settlement will be distributed by the schools as they make this retro to 2016. Schools will divvy up according to the money-making sports. Football and basketball players will see most of this. And this will be true going forward.

Whatever percentage of this penalty/backpay is going to P5 athletes is the percentage the P5 programs should be on the hook for.


Is the 95% just the ratio of P5 athletes vs non-P5 athletes suing? How did they calculate that the P5 should be back paying 95%?

Hopefully this all collapses to the point it no longer exists. I’ll just find other things with my time.

I wish I could dig up my post 2 or 3 years ago telling everyone we are speeding towards teams being associated with the college, paying royalties, but not actually being part of the college. I was getting laughed at, down voted, and various other shite. College football's big boys have outgrown the college part.

One of my questions as well, especially being that’s what I did in college (though miles and miles from Olympic caliber).

Track & Field, Swimming, Wrestling, Volleyball, Gold, etc…those programs are funded by revenues from football and men’s basketball.

Not much different than how it was when I was in school almost 40 years ago.

The football team seemed like a separate entity bolted on to the school, essentially a marketing department. The current events are just finally making this stuff explicit.

I lived in Houston for a decade. I don't think I ever heard the name Houston Christian University and I read the newspapers there and followed sports on TV (and the coverage seemed to be fairly broad way beyond the pro teams.)

Originally Houston Baptist University. Think they changed their name just a year or two ago.

They will be better off, IF your one of those programs at a university that doesn’t decide to cut your program. They will do away with partial scholarships and will allow schools to reward everyone on the roster a full ride.

Of course some schools, won’t fund all those extra scholarships and some schools will decide to cut those programs to help pay for everything else.

BUT those programs that survive those cuts will be better off than currently.

One day we’ll be able to tell our grandkids that we witnessed college athletics. Sucks that they never will.

Yep it’s mercenaries brought in to the highest bidder for a year , maybe two to play. You have no idea who they are or their stories. They’re just brought in to win, cash a check and leave . It kind of sucks.


You aren't wrong, but the average fan doesn't know more than a handful of players' names before the season. I'm not talking about those of us posting here. Right now I can think of several season ticket-holding friends of mine who couldn't name more than a handful of starters for LSU this season. the transfer portal has very little effect on them.

Yall don’t get it.

These schools should basically get nothing: the “product” below the Power 5 level, and especially below the G5 level, isn’t good enough to make almost ANY revenue.

The only reason that Houston university got ANY money from the NCAA is because they were being subsidized by the Power 5 (mostly) to prevent legal and political issues.

Small programs aren’t having to pay for Power 5 players, they are basically going to get a smaller subsidy so the Power 5 can afford to pay off this settlement.


Administration at small programs got used to free money falling from the sky basically and now they will have to accept getting less.

The power conferences are paying about 23% quote:is that about 95% of the $2.77 billion in back-pay is intended to be distributed to power conference athletes.


And yet, when perennial power Florida was allowed into the baseball tournament this year - when they had done absolutely nothing to earn it- ahead of College of Charleston (amongst others) the cry was to “expand the field” so these poor left outs could get in.

Everything they do is to enhance the Big10, ACC, and especially SEC. If you think for a minute a decision like tournament expansion would benefit schools outside those 3 you are very very sadly mistake.
