I don't know how Syracuse intends to share the revenue, but if it is true revenue sharing between the school and the players (not revenue sharing between teams) then shouldn't distribution of revenue or size of your piece of the pie be based on which programs generate the most revenue or make the most pie?

Football has a ton of overhead but also brings in the most money.  What's the bottom line?  How much true revenue does each sport generate (revenue minus expenses)?

This shows the numbers Syracuse reported for the 2022-2023 year; [URL="https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/institution/details"]Equity in Athletics[/URL]

Thus, it should include revenue generated by the National Champion Men's Soccer team.

The football program (+$30.8 mil) and the men's basketball program (+$10.9 mil) were the only two programs where revenue generated exceeded the program's expenses.   WBB -$3.4 mil, all other men's sports -$3.9 mil, all other women's sports -$8.3 mil.

How does a program expect to "share" revenue when the program is not generating true revenue for the university?

I know we have a very strong men's lacrosse team this year.  What will it take for this team to generate revenue for the university?  Three homes games so far and they're averaging 4,400 in attendance.  I hope they win a national championship.  But why would men's lacrosse get a significant piece of the pie?
