I see the article has changed somewhat since they first put it up, and after further reading it the actual litigation refers to basketball and football players, the premise of live tv money is the same however. so lets say the orange bowl pays tv rights of 55 million and a jury awards the players anywhere between 30-50 percent of the rights to the actual  live game broadcast which would be in line with precedents paid to their pro counterparts, that is an enormous payout compared to the 2000 a year or so stipend the NCAA was thinking of allowing teams to pay some of its athletes. It would also be a huge hit to the university athletic funds.
 
the tv rights contracts paid to the conferences then distributed to its members are for the entire athletic department and dont just go to football and basketball so its hard to see how that would be distributed
 
now think of enormous tv rights contracts per conference and bowl tv money and NCAA basketball payouts to conferences and what conferences stand to make the most money. if your a player and you need or want money you go where you get paid more just like a coach.
