Message: [QUOTE="Consigliere, post: 5353029, member: 559"] One thing I learned recently. If a school opts to award additional scholarships as allowed by House, the first $2.5MM of that funding comes out of the revenue sharing cap leaving $18MM for direct payments. The numbers I have heard are similar to what Orange United is currently budgeting with general contributions. 75% football, 20% basketball, 5% all else. So that would be $3.6MM for basketball PLUS at least $1MM from the Vegas tournament PLUS earmarked NIL contributions from third party individuals and businesses. That would be more than double the NIL expenditures for men's hoops this year. For reference the highest planned allotment I have seen for men's basketball is at Louisville where they are budgeting 30% for hoops. Of course other programs will see a similar bunp, so the average payment to a scholarship player at a P4 school on a 12 man roster would be something like a half million dollars. Absurd! [/QUOTE]
