Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5085923, member: 5685"] Does the settlement say that compensation is limited to scholarship players? If not, walk ons will need to be compensated as well. That is an extra 15-20 FB players. They are part of the team. Sure a school might pay them less money, but they will need something or you could see lawsuits. Also the networks are going to have to assign actual values to each sport. Otherwise how can a school give more to men's BBall players vs women's? Something like 65% FB, 25% MBBall, 5% WBBall, 5% everything else. I think in the future that will lead to unbundling the sports and having revenue sport conferences and olympic sport conferences. It will be better for everyone. The B18 makes sense for FB and BBall but nothing else. They don't need to stay together if the TV is no longer one contract. [/QUOTE]
