House v NCAA Settlement Discussion

[37620VOL]

A couple questions for the board:

1. What teams/conferences are the winners and losers and why?
2. How does this affect LV basketball directly and indirectly?

As @DeerPark12 stated "No sports beyond football (75%), men's basketball (15%), women's basketball (5%) and baseball/softball (splitting 5%) are receiving revenue share at SEC schools."

My first thought was some teams that don't have football might suddenly find themselves with a competitive advantage in basketball. The best example might be Gonzaga what if they drop $12M on men's BB and $7M on women's basketball. They could have a full roster of million-dollar players! There are several more colleges that should strongly consider if they need to keep football, *ahem* ETSU.

A scary thought, what if UConn drops football and dumps all that $$$ on their basketball teams?

As for the LVs this might hurt us, I could see a strategy evolve where you pay top dollar to your top 3-7 players and fill in role players around them. We need to spread that among 10-12 top players to keep our current system.

Any other thoughts on the matter, Title IX, etc?

The Title IX lawsuit has been filed. I imagine it will become a class action suit in the near future.

I can see many schools using a different payout strategy than what will happen in the SEC. I am sure UConn will have a lower football payout and more money will go to the basketball programs.

I wonder if schools will be allowed to use all their shoe and apparel money for NIL as well as the settlement money. This would be huge for Tennessee if they sign a 20 million deal with Adidas they would have 20 million plus 20.5 million as their NIl total along with any booster money or other NIl money they could dig up. If true I can see every reason for Danny White to take the Adidas deal as that doubles his NIl money and puts Tennessee in strong position for keeping and getting top athletes.

My guess is you have to make the deal with Adidas or Nike which ever it may be. They have to offer a shoe deal with at least one player from each major sport. These ADs and coaches are always going to find a way around the laws plane and simple. I believe the reason behind all this stuff happened because some were already paying players without being looked at closely. Others were being penalized heavily if they were caught dealing under the table.

All the Big East schools will flow most money into basketball.

Non P4 schools are not going to get to the $20.5M figure (I'm not quite sure frankly if it will be for B12/ACC either without significant changes in spending). Article on Yahoo News yesterday with anonymous source saying they expected most Big East schools to end up in the $7M-$12M range total. So they won't have a $20M dollar advantage by putting it all in mens bball. But the open question out there is what % they are going to put in womens bball especially when UConn is really the only good product in the league. That will determine the final mens number and whether its a $1M-$2M advantage or a $5M+ adv.

Are Gonzaga and the Big East the big winners from the NCAA's new revenue sharing rules?
