What a cluster. IDK about soccer or other sports, but the uncertainty in football with roster limits/scholarships has really been difficult for 2025 grads. Particularly for those that would normally be preferred walk-ons at the D1 level. I hope things sort out for my son that is a 2026 grad.

NCAA wants the roster limits to maintain control. If there's no roster limits colleges can have 200 player (I'm exaggerating) rosters and use $$$ to dominate a sport by tieing up all the top talent.

Not that big of a exaggeration, there are a lot of football squads with a few more than 130. Just limit scholarships, not rosters. Yeah, a team could tie up more kids without scholarship by using NIL money, but those kids are mostly end of the bench kids anyway. A kid that is #110 on the roster isn't going to stick around and to not play. They will go to a "lesser" school to play, it's so easy with the transfer portal. The way that its structured know effectively eliminates the walk on player.

No matter how you slice it, its not going to change the colleges that currently dominate their sports.

"That means roughly 75% of future revenue will be shared with football players, 15% to men's basketball, 5% to women's basketball and 5% to all remaining sports."

There will also be a NIL approval committee. Which is just another way to control players.

It's always been about control

How will Title 9 continue to exist when 75% of the revenue goes to Football? When nobody is paid Title 9 is just about evening out the number of boys and girls available sports positions. Now that money is involved will female sports be playing in hand me down jerseys just to maintain an offsetting headcount?

My research concluded the Football team is actually paying for everything for women's sports. So they can get 105 full scholarships for football. So that is why the money funnels through them at 75%. Its seems like that is the simplest way to put it. (It's like taking a lady on a date and footing the bill. And giving her 5 bucks for pocket change for her time at the end.)

Scholarships are still equal, which is provided by some of the Federal money colleges get, thus the Title 9 requirement. This 20 million is NIL money is private, nothing contributed by the government, so no affect on Title 9 and additional besides scholarships.

So lets talk soccer. Best case scenario with a school that is fully funded. If 5% or 1 million goes to the remaining teams after Football and basketball, figure 10 teams, so 100K per team in NIL. That might be 4K per player in NIL money, besides scholarship, which is more than most soccer players are getting.

Also note there is still opportunity for more NIL money, thus how Texas Tech softball pitcher would get 1 million.
 
Revenue sharing is just that, Athletes share in the revenue their sports actually bring in.

Several ADs have indicated that athletes in particular sports would get the portion of the total revenue their sport brings in.

Missouri basketball brought in 23% of the total athletic department revenue and those basketball players will receive 23% of the $20million pot.

That also gives them a fighting chance against Title IX lawsuits.

Each school is going to look different.

NIL is going go be a separate issue. I think there will be lawsuits about any cap on NIL. NCAA will lose again. Courts have said that NIL can not be capped.
 
Interesting to look at different school with varied sports.

UConn a basketball school.

Regardless, soccer is screwed. A lot of the schools are making scholarships parts of revenue sharing. Missouri is even removing athletic scholarships for athletes. Everything will come from the $20 mil.

It would be ironic if colleges just costed out scholorships and gave players an equivalent amount of money from the advertising pool. Essentially making players pay for their own college.

Texas Tech is also eliminating its education-related Alston awards in order to instead use those funds for revenue sharing, according to the Avalanche-Journal. Those were academic scholarships to athletes.

I think some school may subtract cost of attendance from revenue and only provide need based aid. If a basketball player is getting $1 million a year he is not need based.
 
From what I've read the College Sports Commission will regulate the NIL money, with it being completely separate from athletic scholarship money. Otherwise it would run into Title 9 conflict. About 20-25% of the D1 colleges will opt out of this agreement. Others are choosing to opt out for the first year, may join up for the second year.
