Unequal revenue for bringing the league viewership
Share your sources, you coward!
Remember when Ricky left in the middle of the night for Washington? He said it was because Washington supports the program financially and Colorado does not. What changed? One answer. Prime.
Prime is so different in the fact that he has fans in all 50 states
This money is part of a national effort to empower a Black Man that is an icon to win a National Championship. I am very convinced that the Big12 is ours to OWN from now on. We do not need to go to the big 2 because we have a cleaner and easier path for the next few years before a bigger change happens.
We used to have George Solich helping to support the program and players, and then the Crawfords are great folks, but now we have real money and support and it is exciting.

With NIL era ending, college sports is on verge of seismic change. How will schools adapt with industry in upheaval?
College football’s more professionalized era arrives in July, and historic powerhouses like Ohio State and Texas could lose both their inherent recruiting advantage and their financial edge.

I know some of you will disagree with me on this, but McIntyre met expectations in my view. His top objective was to make CU appear functional in football coming off the disaster that Embree was. He did that. He just couldn't build on it.
Here's where I do agree with you-even though I think highly of Embree and Dorrell as people. When you have two coaches who fail that badly basically 10 years apart, you have institutional things you need to fix. All of which went away with the hiring of Coach Prime.
The Buffs and Broncos are not where they are without Ownership/Administration strength and both went from periods of almost negative support to overwhelming positive and productive support
Seems to me that cheaters will just return to cheating to circumvent the $20.5 million cap.Next Phase of CFB

Per ESPN
Separating the AD from the educational institution might be the only thing to do. Private equity model, perhaps.Per ESPN
Also, I don't understand this. Does it only apply to collectives? Because there's no way in hell it would be reasonable for Caitlin Clark to have had to share her State Farm endorsement money among all the other Iowa scholarship athletes.
This is a big "duh" and anyone who thought title 9 wasn't going to be a problem is an idiot. Hope they planned for this.Per ESPN
Title IX has some of the most ridiculous applications to it. Football should have always been excluded. The whole notion is that one business unit brings in all the revenue to pay for every other money-losing business unit - but that's irrelevant and everyone should get the same sized slice of the pie. It's legislated communism.
Brooo
What? I agree with trying advancing women's sports by having an equal number of scholarship opportunities and I also agree with preventing schools from only paying lip service to it while they give the women craptastic facilities or skimp on training table, workout facilities, coaching, etc. But revenue has to be part of it and balancing numbers is not apples to apples when there isn't a women's equivalent to football and the AD has to make up for it by killing other men's sports. Look what's happened to men's soccer, volleyball, lacrosse and gymnastics at the university level, among others. And now they want to tell fans and businesses that if they put money up to attract top football players that half of it should go to women's sports? That's the type of thinking that made PACN a joke of a failure - deciding to give equal airtime and broadcast investment into sports broadcasts that had audiences which numbered in the dozens and drew zero advertisers.
The knee jerk communism thing was just silly is all. It's just a law that exists. You'd have to be a crazy person to think it wouldn't apply.
It reminds of Matt's math book.
When you're talking about everyone getting paid the same despite creating very different amounts of the overall wealth, that's pretty much the definition of communism. This interpretation of Title IX is that the money generated by the athletes in any sport is communal for the athletes in every sport.
No, it's not. But carry on.
That's not the definition of communism.
But it is. Football players are in a different class than other athletes if we look at it from a capitalist perspective. What is going to happen now, because that difference is so extreme and Title IX is trying to force a classless system on college sports, is that football will break away as a separate entity to avoid the negative consequences of the current system. We will soon see football as an independent entity with licensing agreements which will go back to the university AD to be spread amongst university sports and its athletes. But there will be less of the revenue to share than the current situation because there will be investors mouths to feed and an ability to pay market value to players.
Not capitalism /= communism, but carry on.
No classes. Elimination of private wealth. Everyone shares relatively equally. Means of production being communally owned.
What this legislation has said is that every athlete is the same regardless of sport, the incentives for being an athlete - including NIL funds - must be spread equally, and that there's no such thing as "football revenue" because it's all athletic department revenue. All managed and distributed by a government authority, eliminating free market influences.
If that's not communism, what is it?
A single law about funding?
Communism = state owned means of production.
What you're talking about can fit in a lot of other buckets, and probably isn't really classified strictly within any formal system, but knee jerk "that's not capitalism therfore it's communism" statements will be mocked.
There no difference between “state owned”and “state controlled.”
Doink!
Been waiting for something like this. And this is why RG was an idiot to demolish the NIL infrastructure built over the last 2 years. Especially without any real communication
