House settlement approved - biclops June 6, 2025, 20:36:19

And so it begins. WSU cuts everything but distance from their track and field program - illinibone June 16, 2025, 22:42:06
- At least as of this week, to be Division I you need 14 sports, at least 6 men and 7 women - ijustkrushalot June 17, 2025, 8:48:54
PSU and UCLA signing up for some PE $$ - jdl June 9, 2025, 14:08:13
- I've listened to some podcasts on PE in athletic departments and have no idea how this can end well* - EffinIllini June 9, 2025, 14:17:58
- This is going down a horrible path.* - Warrin'_Illini June 9, 2025, 14:12:57
- So where is the ROI for PE? - Illiniphil June 9, 2025, 14:12:06
  - Share of revenue on stadium ticket sales, I would guess.* - longsnapper June 9, 2025, 15:32:55
  - Gotta be some athletic gear, right? Some sort of discount on TV ads during PSU games? * - osklister June 9, 2025, 15:26:00
- Since when has anything gone wrong with private equity calling the shots?* - uofi1998 June 9, 2025, 14:11:52
Have listened to several podcasts talking about this - jdl June 9, 2025, 11:55:52
- I hate that we’re now heading right back into the murky waters of illegal payments - OB25 June 9, 2025, 12:47:39
  - JMHO, but I'm not sure the big boys ever left. - osklister June 9, 2025, 14:03:24
  - My understanding is that the extra payments are legit now - RVA June 9, 2025, 13:01:26
    - I don’t think that’s quite right, my read is that now the payments will have to be reviewed… - OB25 June 9, 2025, 13:08:19
      - Ok, that's how I see it too with the expectation that everything is going to be approved - RVA June 9, 2025, 13:46:51
        
        My biggest concern is what this outside NIL framework looks like. - ijustkrushalot June 9, 2025, 13:58:25
        
        Just another way to rationalize cheating. Eh. - osklister June 10, 2025, 8:41:00
RIP non-revenue sports - illinibone June 8, 2025, 17:07:42
- I am beginning to worry about my daughter at her D2 school. Purdue Northwest. She plays softball - Tbag June 9, 2025, 13:59:09
  - My nephew is going there to play baseball next year. And we are all very worried for him.* - LovetheChief June 9, 2025, 16:10:43
    - So far everything seems normal. I think Purdue FW issue is they went up to D1 a couple years ago - Tbag June 10, 2025, 8:42:43
- as I've said, my daughter is a 2026 committed to a summit league school for soccer. She was offered - LovetheChief June 9, 2025, 12:41:03
  - let's be real, your daughters college education will be paid for by: - ijustkrushalot June 9, 2025, 13:56:02
  - It's a long story, but here's the gist as I understand it - LWillhite June 9, 2025, 13:29:14
    - Not great analysis. Football by definition gives you more tv money * - FidelGoodell June 9, 2025, 22:06:22
      - And more expenses - LWillhite June 10, 2025, 8:39:58
        
        And will that Mountain West number drop with some of the bigger schools leaving for the PAC-12?* - EffinIllini June 10, 2025, 8:56:03
        
        That, too* - LWillhite June 10, 2025, 9:13:48
    - I think schools have to opt into revenue sharing? in that case, most schools won't - ijustkrushalot June 9, 2025, 14:01:25
    - Ahhhh, this is very helpful. So, I think we were wise in picking a non-football summit league - LovetheChief June 9, 2025, 13:43:01
      - I'm not sure the MVC schools will do any revenue-sharing, but... - LWillhite June 10, 2025, 8:31:21
- Regarding the cutting of rosters before this past season... - EffinIllini June 9, 2025, 12:12:01
  - yep, that about checks out what we've been hearing, at least from the D1 coaches* - illinibone June 9, 2025, 21:34:54
    - It really sucks, too because she just wants to continue vaulting. - illinibone June 9, 2025, 21:37:02
Jeeezus… this is still going to be a cluster, and schools will still tap boosters tow work around - illini thunder June 7, 2025, 11:27:13
- Of course. The baseline went from $0 to $20m. That’s the only difference * - uofi1998 June 7, 2025, 15:10:27
- No doubt the thought the committee will stop it is laughable.* - gullit June 7, 2025, 12:06:19
The commish is live - biclops June 7, 2025, 8:22:44
- lol that women's water polo is pictured on the front page* - EffinIllini June 9, 2025, 12:21:05
Does this basically put big east schools in drivers seat for basketball?* - cpsteine June 6, 2025, 22:33:05
- No, they don’t have the revenue or TV contracts to compete with football schools.* - voiceofreason June 6, 2025, 22:58:03
  - But, say, a Marquette — why wouldn’t they shovel all 20M of limit at 7 guys on Bball team?* - cpsteine June 6, 2025, 23:00:36
    - will they have $20mm to spend? - biclops June 6, 2025, 23:58:51
      - Donors for a basketball only school would more than make up for it* - KCWildcat June 7, 2025, 8:30:58
        
        If they had those kind of donors, they would have had it for NIL and - larue33 June 7, 2025, 9:42:48
        
        Yeah this is where I am at too. We haven’t seen any kind of economic engine like that from - voiceofreason June 7, 2025, 11:12:16
- Nah. A bunch of the $$$ just goes back under the table - LWillhite June 6, 2025, 22:35:11
  - SEC has been waiting for this. - EffinIllini June 9, 2025, 12:23:45
    - "Bet they didn't get as dirty with Saban. Didn't have to." - IlliniSax05 June 9, 2025, 12:25:18
      - lol. - EffinIllini June 9, 2025, 14:12:26
  - Something like that. tOSU and Michigan are still going to pay big-time... - osklister June 7, 2025, 14:23:55
  - I would like to be wrong, but right now it's a math problem - LWillhite June 7, 2025, 9:02:59
    - I don't think any program has the resources to continue the current collective system - larue33 June 7, 2025, 13:38:33
  - I don’t think so. NIL is an order of magnitude bigger than the under the table payments were - meanjeans June 7, 2025, 8:37:39
  - Maybe, but I don't think so. - larue33 June 7, 2025, 1:57:11
  - But we have a commission to enforce these things now - biclops June 6, 2025, 23:41:57

Good summary of what it all means… - OB25 June 6, 2025, 21:03:57
- I don’t see how the FMV standard doesn’t result in lawsuits * - biclops June 6, 2025, 21:19:01
  - It’s certainly going to be a complete shitshow.* - OB25 June 6, 2025, 21:22:28
Whose house? Or who's House?* - complainant June 6, 2025, 20:51:51

  - Full House* - DocWalk20 June 6, 2025, 21:13:40
    - House, M.D. - IlliniSax05 June 6, 2025, 21:42:32
      - I can't help but be amused when biclops posts something so opaque. Even the linked Tweet has no info - complainant June 6, 2025, 22:33:04
