The yahoo guys pod is a really good listen on this. Lays a lot of it out and what some of the consequences may be.

I was thinking while listening that there may be an advantage for basketball schools vs football. While we will never compete with the overall dollars that football has, we also won't have to split in so many ways with football being a numbers sport that must be matched by title ix.

The devil will be in the details of course. Stay tuned.

People say this a lot, but it’s really irrelevant because it’s not coming from a fixed pool. If we have a pot of, say, 3 million, all of that goes into basketball, yes. But if a school with multiple billionaire boosters like Arkansas has a pot of, say, 10 million, they can put 5 million of that into football and still be able to outspend us by 2 million.

a football team has almost as many starters on one side of the ball than an entire college basketball team.

I think the amount that universities will have to pay football players will increase substantially more than basketball when this is inevitably passed. Football is the revenue generator, and the players will be paid as the generators they should.

Archie Manning’s grandson made more money sitting on the bench at Texas than Brock Purdy made leading the Niners to the Super Bowl.

This is why we aren’t close to peak insanity: there’s no telling how high football salaries team-wise might go. While that’s potentially a good thing in sucking up a ton of resources, it could boomerang on us by making a handful of millions to have a killer hoops program look cheap in comparison.

If a dozen school collectives come to that conclusion we could be swamped immediately.

Yep, and that the B10/SEC look at this wild west era of NIL as a chance to stomp out all the other conferences as viable contenders (after cherry picking a few top programs to join them)

Only positive is that even lousy football programs at the big schools are seen as imperative to the school's image

A pretty good article in the World Herald largely quoting Rasmussen

The model is changing from collectives paying athletes, to Universities paying athletes through revenue sharing.
