Paid out to football and basketball over the last 2 years (if accurate) - if you estimate 80 athletes that’s an avg of more than $160,000 per athlete

The BIG needs to declare their athletes employees so the athletic funds can be paid directly to them rather than frivolous things like fancy locker rooms

Casual people can just blurt out whatever idea they think of, but the fact is that making these kids actual employees would be a disaster for the schools.
If folks knew anything about tort law, liability, etc they would understand.
Not just college, but Uber drivers, etc.

We’ll see …. it may very well get there .. in fact some lawyers who I presume understand tort law, liability etc have already “blurted out” their opinion that the concept has legal merit

Some will have been paid more than the average and many less.

All that money and in return was a fired basketball coach and a mediocre football team.

NLRB doesn’t have the authority. That would need to come from SSA or the courts.

Yes, agree … I was just saying there is enough legal merit for it to make it into the courts based on legal opinions as opposed to being outright rejected as something some rando just “blurted out”

Many of the same arguments were made before NIL was challenged and the NCAA was laughed out of the Supreme Court with a 9-0 ruling

Lets say that the schools started supplying the money as opposed to the boosters. Would Title 9 require that female athletes get the same benefits that males do? Would all male athletes get the same amounts? Just asking those who have a better understanding of all this.

Does it matter? If the BIG 10 went that route the SEC would follow suit and we'd be behind again. Trying to keep up with Texas money is pointless.

The conference payout in the BIG right now is higher than the SEC- while we wouldn’t surpass Texas we could close the delta … it would also really distance ourselves from the B12-ACC-PAC schools

Right now our donor base is being directed toward new facilities, stadium upgrades, contract buyouts, etc etc (**** that pales in comparison to talent acquisition if you are actually interested in winning) rather than being directed to NIL

this post requires an asterisk

to the best of my knowledge, the record-setting media deal that is the pride of all B1G land has yet to be completed

the final numbers, based on B1G leadership's selling what was not theirs to sell (B1G football rights belong to FOX and michigan refuses to play night games after a certain date), are certain to be lower than what was initially reported and ejaculated over

CBS and NBC will be broadcasting 2nd and 3rd tier B1G games and their monetary outlay will be commensurate

Rutgers is going to earn more money from the Big Ten in 2024 than Georgia will from the SEC.

has the media deal been finalized?

here's the last update, haven't heard a peep since:

www.espn.com

How an unfinished TV deal led to an unexpectedly hectic first month for the new Big Ten commissioner

New Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has been sprinting to finish his league's massive TV deal -- and key athletic directors and coaches aren't happy with the details.
