Message: [QUOTE="CNYGuy, post: 5409604, member: 9227"] Respectfully, going to suggest as others have you re-check your information, because it’s not correct. And yes, you say proposed - that’s what everyone is operating under. A federal judge is expected to pass this and already gave preliminary approval. let’s simplify this (and you can read this anywhere. I recommend Ross Dellenger as he’s been on top of this for the last two years): school gets $20.5 Million to distribute directly. Not a cent more. As others have stated (correctly) Syracuse is giving the vast majority of that to its FB/MBB teams. Any cent (scholarship above the previous limit of 85 or straight cash) that a school (any school in any conference, not just SU) gives to a player counts against that 20.5. Football gets X dollars. Fran/staff decides how to distribute that X amongst its roster (be it scholarships or otherwise). Syracuse is giving the maximum. Maximum means they literally cannot give more to their teams. You can argue that maybe their breakdown is wrong and football fans will say they gave MBB too much, or WBB should get nothing…MBB fans might say the same about football. Wbb fans will probably say they should get more than the scraps. Fine. But saying the University isn’t covering something is false. Now, if you want to say we need more NIL, I FULLY agree with you. That’s where the NIL geoup comes in. They’ve done great in a short time, but they need more support… that’s where the general public and local companies come in. SU can’t give anymore (by law, which has already been preliminarily approved by a judge and will likely get final approval before next football season). There really isn’t a narrative people are spinning if you read the settlement and take SU at their word that they’re giving the max. [/QUOTE]
