I believe every P4 school has opted in to the athletic revenue sharing. Most schools run a deficit in the athletic department. My sense is that the $20.5M maximum revenue sharing could turn out to be a death spiral for some schools. Some schools will need to lower their revenue sharing number, putting them at a distinct competitive disadvantage, or rethink whether they can compete at the P4 level. This will affect teams from all P4 conferences. The universities cannot continue to subsidize athletics. Some schools opted in to revenue sharing with a hope and a prayer.

I see some stormy weather for college football the next few years.

Good to see the sand aggies build upon top of their big brother aggie failed
attempt to buy a championship a few years ago. I’ll just take those numbers
as true 
eventually if you keep at it long enough you will “win” something.

As for the good of it to the college football industry
as was stated above
going to be some rocky roads for lots of schools.

We need our restaurant/casino baron to match their oil barons.

Unless and until he does, life won’t be easy.

Bucket Two is a myth.

Houston is a goldmine. We just need the right prospector.

It ain’t just about being in a wealthy city.

Ya gotta have a sugar daddy that cares enough about your school to make it their NIL/direct pay pet project.

Oregon has such a sugar daddy.

Tech has such a sugar daddy.

We don’t.

Even Stanford, despite having more billionaires than just about any other school
.DOESN’T.

Not a lot of P4 schools that are in cities on that list.

I was under the impression that the clearinghouse was going to be the death nail of the bucket one NIL as we know it, sure there will be some money shifted to bucket two NIL, but NIL will have to serve a legitimate business purpose. Maybe I am wrong.

Here is the AI rundown.

The NIL Clearinghouse in the House v. NCAA settlement is a newly established system designed to regulate and oversee Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals for college athletes. Operated by Deloitte, this clearinghouse—called NIL GO—will ensure that NIL agreements meet fair market value standards and comply with NCAA regulations.

Here’s how it works:

  • Review Process – Third-party NIL deals valued at $600 or more will be assessed to confirm they serve a legitimate business purpose and align with market rates.
  • Institutional Oversight – Schools will designate staff members to manage NIL deal submissions and compliance.
  • Booster & Collective Monitoring – Deals originating from boosters or collectives will undergo deeper scrutiny to prevent unfair advantages.
  • Fair Market Value Analysis – Deloitte will use a 12-point evaluation based on factors like athletic performance, social media presence, and brand influence.
  • Dispute Resolution – If a deal is rejected, athletes can revise and resubmit. If denied again, the case escalates to arbitration.

This system aims to bring structure to the NIL market, ensuring transparency and fairness while reducing the influence of unregulated third-party payments.

Here is an article that says, among things, 70% of past deals from collectives would be denied under the new standards. It also says that market size is a consideration, so we have that going for us.

Who is the New chairman of the board of regents? How do you think Fertitta will be involved as Italian Ambassador? Will he play any role?

Really can’t see that winning in a Supreme Court showdown. My only question is when it
get to that level.

Drop the L and he’s in.

“Will he pay any role?”

Sugar daddies need to apply and can run the
football business and as side benefit rule the university too.

Agree, Tillman is great and has done a lot for
many aspects of the school; but he doesn’t
want to be the football sugar daddy for whatever reason.

Actually I’d like to see an interview with him
on how he sees it all playing out. My take is
he understand the value of having a football
program , but doesn’t see the ROI of investing
in kids at this level.

I thought I read on this forum that he was limited in his athletic support as chairman of the board. I do not know if true or not but I read it on the internet. IF true then he would not have the same restrictions in this new job.

If this is correct, I applaud him. While considering my previous post, I still blame fans and boosters for the mess we are currently in with college football.

Fans and media pushing the agenda that players wore working for free and not showing the value all the things they were getting. Plus the monthly stipend I think was good and should have been done sooner.

Plus the rich boosters trying to buy teams and not win fairly on the field, but trying to skirt rules to win before they play. NIL was intended as a means for athletes to earn money by commercials autographs etc. It was not meant as pay for play per the judges follow up statements, Boosters just took it as a means to skirt the rules.


Nuclear BOOM!
