Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 5127976, member: 1559"] So, here's the deal. Revenue sharing is coming for players and it will impact this year's HS/portal/roster recruiting. For football, the revenue share could be $15 million+, depending on what each school wants to do. Some schools will probably try to minimize their revenue share. Unfortunately, for a school like UConn, they have little football media revenue so there will not be much to share with the players. For an SEC school with 85 scholarships, the revenue share could average ~$175k/player if they divided it equally, but it won't be divided equally. But, there will also be NIL raised by collectives. NIL is not just crowdsourcing donations as there are some marketing deals for some players like Paige Bueckers. For UConn, it looks like NIL will be very important to remain competitive given the low football media revenues to share with players. Like it or not, that's the reality and why fans have to support Bleeding Blue for Good. [/QUOTE]
