New Era of NIL.

[RobEStacy]

Will be intresting how UK, Given Mitchs tendiences to spread the wealth m, spends its money... I just don't see the basketball team only getting 2-4 million out of the men's share of the 20.5 million cut based on the articles proposed splits ... Title 9 gives a hard split of the cash for Men's and Women's teams... Plus the whole $600 clearing house for NIL deals.. I can see Pope and Stoops fighting for their price of the pie.

Ohio State plans to distribute their $20.5 million pool in two ways, Bjork says, “proportionally” based on male-female split and a “market-based approach” determined through valid market factors such as a sport’s television viewership, social media impressions, etc.

Though Bjork declined to reveal specific percentages by sport, many of the football-generating giants of FBS plan to disburse the vast majority of their revenue, as much as or more than 90%, to football and men’s basketball — the only two profit-turning sports at many universities. For schools offering the maximum $20.5 million of rev-share pool money, the formula means that football rosters would receive $13-16 million and men’s basketball rosters $2-4 million, according to estimates.

With NIL era ending, college sports is on verge of seismic change. How will schools adapt with industry in upheaval?

College football’s more professionalized era arrives in July, and historic powerhouses like Ohio State and Texas could lose both their inherent recruiting advantage and their financial edge.

This will really be a test for mitch. Most schools are going to use sport specific revenue to go to those athletes. Given Mitch's past spending projects, he doesn't put revenue sports above others.

If he follows suit on this, it will really hurt football because that revenue sharing is the only thing thats an equalizer for us vs the rest of the nation (not vs the rest of the sec, which is another story).

We'll have to see what happens.

Unless I'm understanding this revenue sharing wrong, it means little. It looks to establish a new floor, there isn't anything legally that keeps the bigger schools as it relates to football from spending even more on their roster. To me, this will shape what the pecking order is among the middling schools. How much the middling schools earmark towards their football roster will help establish their spot below those wealthy fanbases.
