College athlete compensation - NIL etc 💰

Will be interesting to see if any non-P4 schools adopt the revenue sharing that will result from the House settlement. Would think only a handful would be able afford to do so - perhaps a San Diego State or Memphis.

Also will be interesting to see how many - if any - athletes opt out of House as well. That may hinge on the outcome of Fontenot, especially if that case results in the opportunity for a better pay day!

And speaking of Fontenot:

clt didn’t listen to any of that but we need more of her

Yep, figured you would appreciate her. Probably not a lot of lawyers posting some of the things she has on her X account.

This is crazy! Carl Reed Jr. - a college football analyst for CBS Sports and 247 - is making false claims about NIL and even doubled down after a number of replies - including those by Matt Brown of Extra Points - pointing out his error. Players etc beware!

Usually don’t quote at length but found these excerpts from Matt Norlander’s piece about House quite apropos:

One thing I’ve learned from engaging on SM about this stuff is there are fans and pundits and personalities that 1, don’t understand the financials of programs not in the top 10% and 2, they don’t care if and maybe even want smaller programs and lesser known ones to fail and go away. It’s odd.
