Were you watching college sports for the pure fact that some illogical rules made it so that they couldn’t be paid? I think you’ll be on the board 5 years from now regardless.
NIL numbers
- Thread starter RU72
- Start date
Actually football and basketball pay for all of the non revenue sports. You guys are underestimating the money schools in a major conference bring in. Rutgers getting full big ten share soon I believe? Watch all the cool 💩 that starts popping up lol

I found 18 profitable & 211 money-losing NCAA Division-I public athletic programs in 2020
[EDITED to add "Profit without FB coaching salaries." 5:24 pm, 9/3/22].
The school isn't paying them, scholarships are there yes, to keep up the idea of a student athlete. But you know these schools aren't doing it for fun right? They aren't paying coaches millions of dollars for fun. It's because of people like us, college sports generate massive amounts of money, for the schools, businesses around the school, for television networks, various companies and brands. This site we're on for example, dedicated to college sports even has paid subscriptions. So I guarantee you that college players are not making a proportionally fair amount of the total sum generated from college sports. You are making it seem like colleges are giving them scholarships out of the goodness of their hearts. Lol
From the looks of these numbers, might as well cancel college sports all together doesn't look like anyone's making a significant amount of money. Even with full revenue share from their conference, not worth the hassle. Shut it down let all the good players go to NBA development leagues, and just enjoy the games with guys like chol and woolfolk. Cancel college football all together, too expensive, unless the NFL wants to pay up for its developmental league. If we are going to complain let's go all the way.

Ever see many "athletes" academically seperated anymore or even hear much of of academic issues
No - I think you demanding their NIL be made public is silly.
I thought you would have picked that up by what I posted - so I’ll repeat it again. Their tuition costs (which comes directly from the school) is public.
It's probably a good thing because then the schools have someone to negotiate with. As of now the Supreme Court said that the schools can't interfere (aka make rules) regarding the players trying to earn income. But a union can if they decide to form one. And schools can negotiate with unions.
The amount of assistance these guys get now is incredible. You have to really try to fail out of school to do so at this point. No one is academically ineligible anymore.
The reality is college sports (especially non revenue) was going the wrong way before NIL.
Destruction timeline
1. college sports gets big and schools pay to attract coaches
2. Title 9
3 practice facility competition
4 TV contacts
5 conference wars
6 NIL
NIL may be a nail on the coffin
Still waiting for anyone to answer "Why is it the responsibility of CFB and MBB to cover the expenses of every other sport in the AD?"
What exactly is wrong with more money going towards CFB and MBB - they earn the money.
If my department raised 95% if the companies revenue and leadership said "I know you need more cash to stay competitive but....we need to spend it to prop up this other department that literally has zero revenue."
Maybe maybe not. But that assumes the model then is better than the model now.
Why should the players of the revenue sports be subsidizing the Olympic sport athletes?

That's what we've come to be familiar with; that's all. There are people donating to Olympic Sports who have NEVER donated to RU Athletics in general and/or football/basketball.
For road games..haha how bad must it have been
I remember the 90 and 00s how difficult it was to keep kids in the school
Aren't scholarships endowed? My understanding is public money can't be used in that capacity.
Shhhhh!
Your not supposed to point out that "fans have been paying for players" for decades by funding scholarships through "mandatory donations" to The R Fund.
If scholarships are a form of payment - then fans have been funding players forever.
If scholarships are not a form of payment - then they have no correlation to NIL and shouldn't be "taken away now".
come on bac...you know the 2 things are not the same...which is why I said when the schools start covering the NIL, then I could see your point.
a kid who is getting an academic scholarship is not required to publish how much they're getting in a local marketing deal/job...even if it's tied to working at the school.
How long will it be before collectives figure out how to structure deals to keep players at a school for 4 years. Some type of loan that is forgiveable after 4 years.
I’m not even sure what you’re arguing? Being suspended for x games isn’t better because they’re all road games.
than you dont know what I mean by saying guys are not being academically seperated anymore
Is that really gaming the system? Didn't RU have like 5 25 year olds a few years ago, or did I make that up?
We aren't part of the Ivy League so no, we didn't game any system.
We never had five 25 year olds. We had one who went through 2 complete knee rebuilds. Not exactly gaming the system.
Ah, Ivy league. Swore it was more than one, not sure who/what I had in my head
We had some guys who were old for college, a few 24 year olds. But so did some other teams. We just got spoken about more by the Quint's of the world but the reality was we were not nearly alone. Jealousy and hate was a part of it.
The best thing you can do is not click Quint's stuff. He dies without clicks.
