“So revenue sharing was agreed upon by the terms of the house case settlement. Okay.
And with that, schools have a certain allotment of money that they can just contribute to literally pay directly their athletes across the board at the schools. Right. And so that was 20.5 million for this past cycle jumped like what?
22 or whatever for the next cycle. It's literally year over year over year. So what's happening now is at, particularly like non-Big East schools, school like programs are getting, I've had power conference coaches tell me, depending on the school GP, like some are like, I have 2.4 in rev-share.
Some will be like, I got four. Like Carolina, I think they're just under seven, if not seven exactly in rev-share. That's a great thing for Carolina.
It's still not enough. I think the average high major roster this time around will probably run you, I guess the average, average I'd say is probably 10 and a half, maybe 10 million, but there are schools spending way more than that. I bring all that up as the setup to say, these schools are signing these deals with these players and it is “based upon money that they do not have right now.
They don't have the money, like top 10 transfer prospect signs for 3.3 million. That school is not paying him 3.3 million now, and he will not be getting all that money in May. He will not be getting all that money by October.
They have to go out and actually fundraise the money. And then as things stand right now, they still have to run it through the College Sports Commission. It still has to go through all that.”
“So there's a little bit of like, just hold on everybody and hope this really works. We don't look up in February, and a player that we signed for 2.7 million has only received 1.2 of it and doesn't get the rest of it. And then we're staring down like a really publicly embarrassing situation where they call us out or they take us to court over it.
So GP like, is there a salary cap? Eh, no, but I'm just telling you there's a lot of staffs out there that are kind of almost like riding blind faith on the idea that this will just continue to push through and we won't find some real resistance. That's all.”
