That looks like the rumored model that all SEC teams would use, if that was the direction the conference decided to go as a whole - i.e. one size fits all for all 16 SEC schools.

The question was whether all SEC would do the same thing and fund at the same percentages by sport or each school would do their own thing. The big example of wanting to do your own thing would be Kentucky men's basketball at a higher percentages instead of putting as much into football. But there are other examples like baseball in this area for schools like us, LSU, etc. And then there are growing sports like softball and volleyball that some would want to invest in.

that's a target, schools will do different amounts. I expect So Car to put more into WBB. Just like I'd expect Miss State to put more towards baseball.

And this is revenue sharing, not tech NIL. but it's all blurred

Technically, the revenue share from the school is NIL. It is NIL paid by the school to the athletes for those rights, as opposed to NIL from a collective, business, or individual. It is what the legal contracts will state the athletes are being paid for. Otherwise, the athletes would become employees of the school and that is being purposefully avoided right now.

I'm so ignorant about the NIL stuff. Is the potential $1m given to Joni to dish out to the team as she fits IN ADDITION to any deals the athletes can secure on their own or thru their agents?

Yes. Although it'll be interesting who,controls who,gets what. I think we'll see more court battles on that. A lot will cover the full scholarships and increased scholarships

Joni says even $1million won't be enough to compete in the SEC. SMH.

She was impactful. Was the investment worth it? Lost in the national finals. Looks as if one of our best players might be headed to tech.

The news was the primary impact and it definitely put re-defined Tech's public perception. And they beat OU which isn't a nothingburger to reach the finals.

They re-upped the contract before the House settlement was approved in a power move.

Unfortunately I think we need more than money to help our basketball program.

The formula appears to be an aggregation of all schools and the percentages represent roughly relative income across sports which is why it is being mentioned as a model for distributing revenue sharing/school provided NIL

From everything I know, only football creates revenue that is shared with other sports at A&M though I recall outlier years when other sports poked their heads up and ran in the black.

Also keep in mind that quite a bit if the investment in football improved gameday revenues that Title IX required to be shared between men's and women's sports. It isn't clear if Wilken differentiated between former student and fan tickets (pure revenue), ticket donations (which if they guarantee seat locations are more like pure revenue), and contributions that had either direct academic purposes (grants-in-aid and academic support.) I also believe that model (75% football/15% men's basketball/5% women's basketball/5% other sports) might be a guideline but not a strict requirement and also might be conference enforced. I posted an article in Clemson in the Zoo that suggested they do not intend to follow it precisely but shared their approach.

So…A&M might use an SEC-established split and might or might not fund women's basketball with 5%/$1 million of $20.5 allowed this year. But most schools do plan to pay for additional scholarships out of the $20 .1 million. Texas Tech in announcing the combination of their school run fan org with the Matador Club talked about this and noted a goal of $14 million for fans to fund annually to support the House settlement changes. It isn't clear if that was a complete accounting or a wish list, though…

Judge Wilken noted a couple of months ago that she is deciding the case solely based on anti-trust law and wasn't taking into account Title IX and believed Title IX doesn't impact the House distributions since they are part of a settlement agreement / consent decree to resolve past illegal anti-trust behavior .

NCAA President Charlie Baker in discussing the settlement said it was better than the alternative of bankruptcy…
