Car payments and rent? Part of me wonders what kinds of cars and housing that entails...

Could be a mix of the normal variety sprinkled in with some high end apartments/lofts with equally expensive cars that might not be the picture of frugality.

Either way, interesting data from collectives.

6,090 deals of 8,359 have been cleared for $35.42MM with $79.8MM to be cleared. Anyone wondering why the few 25% of deals worth more than double the 75% of deals haven't been cleared?

LOL, duh

First - thanks for your diligence in this thread to bring us all news related to the House settlement. Greatly appreciated!

Now - can you or someone else explain to me as if I was 12 years old (which technically...ah, never mind) what exactly this letter is proposing? I've read it, but I'm not quite sure I get why the proposed solution in this letter would a) be accepted by the CFP/FBS schools, and b) would help non-FBS schools.

I'm sure I'm missing some nuance here (which should surprise no one), but I'm just not getting it.

Thanks!

And then can they do it as if I were an 8 year old?

Thanks for your kind words. There are 3 sportswriters I check almost daily on X (Twitter) - Ross Dellenger (Yahoo Sports), Pete Thamel (ESPN), and Pat Forde (SI). I haven't read the letter yet. Hopefully I will by tonight. In the meantime maybe Ross Dellenger will write an article explaining it so we can all understand.

It's a short letter. NCAA athletic distributions currently come from the NCAA itself (hoops tourney etc) and from the CFP system. The stated problem is that by pooling and distributing money this way, the "incentives" are tipped way too far toward FBS football at the cost of the Olympic sports.

The proposal is to shift all football funding to the CFP system, and distribute the NCAA revenue to all other sports for all schools. Slight decrease in football revenue for some schools, which the authors claim will be more than offset by the insane growth in that revenue stream, and a more noticeable bump in the non-football revenue, which will better incentivize schools to carry more teams.

They fear that under the SCORE act most schools will lower themselves to the bare minimum requirement of 16 non-football sports. As long as football has a tap on that NCAA vein, it'll never get better.

Some good things. I don't see, or recall, any teeth to the NCAA or any potential governing body for violations, i.e. money-bags, a.k.a. the SEC standard Operating Procedure. Serious teeth to punish severely schools, coaches, players, and involved parties, possibly including criminal penalties above certain thresholds.

I believe coaches should not be punished for giving a kid a lift or a sandwich. Paying for exorbitant meals, prostitutes (Louisville!), cars, homes for parents, etc. should be held to much more stringent penalties.

Interesting development. Can't help their recruiting.

GO VATECH! Finish un-aliving yourself. No need to hold on to the Beamer past, it's over. Accept your fate.

If you ask to be redshirted so you can enter the portal mid-season, you don't get paid.

Thanks, OX, for clarifying VATech's position. At least this make sense, though I would have been content to see them be stupid. If a kid wants to lave and preserve his eligibility, he really does not deserve to get paid.

Thanks, FloridaCuse. You've been on top of the NIL issues. There needs to be more guidelines and less "me, me, me" wild, wild west, players get to do whatever they want. There is a balance to be reached.

These players aren't getting that much money. Less "me, me, me" meanwhile the schools still rake in advertising, TV, and merch dollars.

Respectfully, a $400K-$500K education* is nothing to shake a stick at. At $100K/year, each player makes more than the average household in the U.S. at their young age.

* Tuition is based on the average of the private school costs as taxpayers fund the remainder for state tuition, there are full benefits, gear, food, training, travel, etc. and the tax-free value of the education package (a key reason players should not become employees), the fact that most student athletes "aren't getting that much money" is a non-factor. I am happy they are getting some stipend as they cannot work during the preseason and season. Also, recall, football and basketball fund ALL sports, men's and women's. Without Title IX, most other sports would be cut off completely. While I respect the concept that people in general should be paid their worth in the generation of wealth, the act of accepting the scholarship is the acknowledgement that that the football or basketball is making a conscious choice to assist their fellow athletes in other sports. The military, government, and education personnel often make less than their professional counterparts, sacrificing a part of their potential wages to serve the public and for other benefits, among them security.

Tuition/board cannot support your family. A degree isn't actually worth anything, it's just saving you the obscene cost of secondary education.

And no one should be "sacrificing" their worth to serve the public. A pizza party does not justify paying poverty wages.

Then tax them as employees, lose much better medical coverage and care, traded for measly Worker's comp, and enforce contracts, i.e. a four or five year deal for each school. Two can play your game.

If the "degree isn't actually worth anything" then college is a fraud and we should all demand all government funding cease immediately. If you are limiting your comment to student athletes, then apply the same to the student athletes only. Eliminate college sports.

Then start a farm system for the NFL with games on Saturdays.

P.S. Nice strawman argument. I am glad they get a stipend, the comment was and is there for you to read. You make the strawman argument because you have no valid argument. I merely stated the facts, I don't necessarily agree with the entire framework, it needs work. Regardless, Title IX was enacted by Congress, it is the law. Football and basketball pay the way for all other sports. Build a bridge and get over it.
