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.

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.
