They certainly want have the funds that the big dogs have in revenue. The program with big NIL will still be able to offer more.

Starting this year, the NCAA authorized the same amount, $20,500,000, for every P4 school to distribute to their athletic programs. How they divvy it up is their business. Most P4 schools are expected to allocate well North of 70% of that total to FB. Private booster clubs etc. are separate from this.

Just the important stuff:
Nelson, a senior standout at St. Luke's School helped the Storm (15-11) to an appearance in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council Class B championship game this past season. She averaged 17.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.7 steals per game while shooting 39 percent from three-point range.

A 5-foot-8 guard, Nelson was named NEPSAC Class B Player of the Year is the No. 91 ranked player in the Class of 2025 by 247Sports.

Nelson joins her older sister Mackenzie Nelson (2022-23, 2021-22) as a Gatorade State Player of the Year. The two Nelsons will face off in the ACC next year as Mackenzie will be a redshirt sophomore at Virginia Tech when Camdyn enrolls at Syracuse.

Nelson is the first Syracuse commit of the Felisha Legette-Jack era to earn Gatorade Player of the Year honors for their respective state. She's the first SU commit to earn the honor since Emily Engstler (NY) in 2017-18.

Kellie Harper back in the SEC as Missouri's new head coach.

Harper announced as Mizzou head coach

Mizzou will get better under Harper. Like everyone else here I hope Missouri supports her program financially to give her a chance. She can get them to the tournament regularly, but will likely need a good portal class initially to make them competitive right away.

I posted this a month or so ago, but it bears looking at again. Of the $20.5 million authorized by the NCAA for P4 schools to distribute to the athletic programs, it is estimated that women’s BB teams will on average see about 1.2% of that amount or around $225,000. FB is expected to get 77%+. Some schools such as Clemson have stated they will allocate 90% to FB. It’s up to each institution.

Schools without hockey, lacrosse, rowing, field hockey programs etc will have more wiggle room obviously. You would think, for example, that Coach Harper will have access to 1-2% minimum at Mizzou for her WBB program not counting any booster funds. It’s all relative since every P4 school will have these funds to work with, but one would think that a coach who can identify talent should be able to build a competitive squad if they spend wisely.

It’s worth noting that WBB will also begin to receive money this year for the first time for participation and advancement in the NCAA tourney like MBB has always been paid. I believe that money will be sent to each school’s conference to be divided up amongst all of the member WBB programs. It therefore makes it advantageous for your fellow conference teams to do well in the tournament. These figures are starting out paltry however.

Same sentiment I posted earlier. Football will get the most because Football is the Cash Cow. $225,000 isn't very much ...when you have 15 players.

Knox, for most SEC schools I suspect the WBB programs will see 2-3%, so the total should be closer to $500,000 +/-. Still not enough compared to their surging TV rankings btw, remember the WBB championship outdrew the men last year by over 4 million viewers. Even if that was a Clarke inspired one off, WBB ratings have skyrocketed, meaning TV revenue from commercials for the WBB tournament are a cash cow for the networks while they still dole out morsels to the WBB TV contract.

The main issue (problem) here is not the growth of WBB, which is surging. Viewership on TV continues to climb. It is the TV contract awarded to WBB which quite frankly is a pittance of what it should be based upon viewership numbers. To top it off, that TV contract forces WBB to share the revenue with all other “non revenue sports”, unlike MBB. It’s a bit of a travesty tbh if you look at the commercial success of WBB these days. So basically, WBB is helping to support sports like gymnastics and volleyball…..etc.

I think Dawn wants to be #1 so she can hang a banner if the tournament is postponed because we are engaged in a nuclear war, the measles kill most of the people in the western states, or Doge fires all the people who are running the tournament. Not a pretty thought, but unfortunately the country we live in now.
