How looming House v. NCAA settlement will impact college athletics on and off the field for years to come

So the floor for player compensation will get higher with revenue sharing. But no limits on how high the ceiling gets. Rich stay rich. In terms of creating a fairer more competitive environment it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Ding ding ding! Thread over with this eagleton post. The rich schools will barely think of this as any kind of impediment. If you’re Ohio state, Michigan, Texas and A&M in Texas, a whole bunch of SEC and b1g schools not mentioned above as well as some b12 and ACC. The rich not only get richer, but create a bigger chasm between them and “those other” programs.

Just rip off the bandaid.
Two separate ADs and operating structure.

CFB/CBB entirely separate AD and operating structure.
Collective bargaining with players for revenue distribution.
Negotiated rules and salary cap. Just like every other sports league.
Get rid of "donations" to the "CFB
/CBB AD".
This AD receives no school funding - and thus not subject to Title IX (I beliebe).
AD (at all schools) must operate based on conference/game revenue only.
Instantly levels the field.

All other sports run under a separate "Olympic AD" at each school.
Allow donations to this if you want. Schools would fund the these sports as they wish (no more blaming "football" for having to cut sports. If taxpayers want to fund Tennis then do it).

Let the conferences have a separate contract for media distribution with the "Olympic ADs" if they wish. Obviously at a much lower figure than the money going to the "CFB/CBB AD".
 
This settlement will have absolutely no effect on the future of college athletics. The Big 10 and SEC stand to make a ton more money if they eventually merge, add a couple blue bloods from the remaining schools, and then cut everyone else out of the process of major college athletics. And nothing is going to stop them from acting in their own self-interest.

Forty to fifty schools in ... everyone else out. Just like the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, etc.

"No pay-4-play/booster pay" <---- LMAO. Good luck with that. The genie is out of the bottle.

Fairness and parity have never been the goal of college football's overlords.
