Message: [QUOTE="microfich, post: 5264073, member: 1029"] It's comforting to see Benedict playing ahead and with clear vision of the current and future revenue landscape while overseeing an incredibly successful athletic division over his tenure. Hovering above, however, are the clouds about which he can only do so much to dissipate and reveal us in a P4 conference with dependable dollars. As the article suggests, the revenue streams for maintaining programs and paying athletes at UConn, while growing at an historically dizzying rate, will probably not be enough for sustained excellence. NIL collectives currently keep us breathing for basketball, where there are a small number of players sharing around $12 MM. By contrast, P4 football, where the Phil Knight-led collective at Oregon spent $969 MM and even the 30th ranked collective, UNC, spent $344 MM. He is a worthy David but slinging peas at the P4 $reen $iant. [/QUOTE]
