Actually I think it's relative. Go back and read the post. It specifically states that this revenue equates to our athletics programs competing at championship levels and allows us the resources to give our coaches,student athletes, and teams a competitive advantage.
How can we have lived in the NIL world this long and you haven't yet figured out how it works? How big of a college football fan are you?

Trust me, I'm a Huge college football fan and evidently I know a lot more than you. It's called REVENUE SHARING!! And universities are allowed to share 22% of their revenue from athletics and use it toward payments to student athletes. Again, read the post, sir!!

Yes, revenue sharing is now being used to directly fund payments to student athletes, which is considered separate from, but can be used in conjunction with, Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals, meaning athletes can receive compensation through both revenue sharing from their school and individual NIL sponsorship agreements with companies or collectives; essentially providing multiple avenues for student-athlete compensation.

Key points about revenue sharing and NIL:
  • Separate but related:
    Revenue sharing is a system where a portion of a school's athletic revenue is distributed directly to athletes, while NIL deals are individual agreements between athletes and third parties for using their name, image, and likeness for commercial purposes.

  • Recent development:
    This practice of direct athlete payments through revenue sharing is a result of recent legal settlements, like the "House v. NCAA" case, which allowed for schools to compensate athletes beyond traditional scholarships.

  • Impact on NIL:
    While revenue sharing provides a more standardized form of compensation, athletes can still pursue additional income through NIL deals, which can vary significantly based on their popularity and market value.

  • Title IX considerations:
    When implementing revenue sharing, schools must ensure equitable distribution of funds to male and female athletes to comply with Title IX regulations.

Revenue sharing isn’t quite in place last I heard. Danny was looking at it though and ahead of the curve on how to structure it. NIL is still a separate entity for now from revenue generated by the AD.

Great, ran off KingVFL… good job idiots
I got attacked a few times for posting info (Jeremy Banks situation in locker room, WR hitting portal in 2023, etc). It all came out afterwards but since then , I stopped posting most info with exception of Nico this yr (see below). My son is a sr @ UT with mutual
Friends of walk on wide receivers. Plus he played pick up basketball w/ Gaston Moore.

The one thing i shouldn’t have posted was about Nico visiting a coed’s house @ 3am the day before flying out to Arkansas game.

So we let Seldon go, not wanting to give him a chance at WR and he could still be RB, yet we are looking at a mid RB in Thomas and Humphrey is still out there... This is a cluster F... everyone will be happy with me stepping away and just lurking, as this is just getting Pathetic. I can't wait to see this board in the fall... wonder if most will still be in denial... We spent all our money supposedly on freshman (class was like 10-15, not even top 5) and retains, and have nothing left to replace the talent we lost. We sign Banks to an extension--- our talent level this year masked his inability to make adjustments during the game, never blitzed, ran zone until our opponent got to the red zone (folks I guess forgot how we had to outscore our opponents the first few seasons because our defense sucked), and our Oline coach is still hanging out along with the WR coach who apparently didn't get glowing reviews from all the mass WR's leaving... Got it.
Yes

What happened?
I just think King needed a break. Sharing info is fun when you have a bunch of guys that enjoy recruiting, vol football, etc. This forum and the main have turned into just a negative hellhole lately. It used to be fun to post now it’s just depressing. I mean I’m still going to be on here, a lot of people have been here through thick and thin and some bad times, a lot of good people here that help each other out. Sorry for rambling and if I overstepped speaking for someone else but damn guys some of you are some miserable people at times. We’re actually a good football team again with good people in charge.

Yeah, I’m about to stop visiting. I didn’t post often until my son left for college in 2021. So I post during games and so on. But there is so much animosity that it’s not fun. Sports help me escape the real world and get away to recharge the battery so to speak.

Same. Work with the public dealing with conflict too much to come on here and deal with the same.

Best four year period in football in 20 years. Best baseball team in TN history. Most sustained success in bball ever. Women’s team trending the right way.

Yeah - let’s drop a steamer in every thread while complaining about how terrible our teams are.

Totally baffling.
