They need to setup a system where every sport is tracked separately. If your sport makes money the student athlete makes money. If your sports team loses money then the loses get shared at the same percentage between the school and the athlete that the profits are shared.without collective bargaining and central organization, how does this work? Students aren't part of union that collectively agrees to any terms for the benefit of all college athletes. The enforcement agency all along has been the NCAA and we've seen where that's gotten us. Lawsuit after lawsuit lost and more and more toothless they've become.
Let the record show that it looks like even DePaul is taking in about 60% of what UConn earns, which is about 50% too much.
Big East 2024 revenue by team:Thats under the old contract UConn’s Big East Revenue
is probably at least $11,000,000 range
My complaint to the Big East is we’re not compensated for a women's program that has ratings higher than some Big East men’s programs.
I have a healthy skepticism about meaningful congressional intervention. It seems to me like they'd be picking winners and losers amongst their own constituency. That's always a mistake. The president, on the other hand, given that he is in his second term,is free to issue an executive order, I just don't see how it would be particularly effective.I do wonder if congressional involvement is helpful for us… it’s hard for me to believe congress would be interested in solidifying an entirely new division from FBS.
The biggest concern I have is if Sankey is getting an ear on how to shape this potential legislation/committee approach in addition to Saban… it will be very bad for the non-SEC/B1G schools (especially the non-P4).I have a healthy skepticism about meaningful congressional intervention.

Congress can’t slice FBS in half or whatever.. it would be a disaster politically. We’ve also had one of the more active senators in being outspoken on college sports, you’d hope that would somehow help us too (even though he probably substantially hurt us last year with the anti-B12 commentary)
It’s important to note that, in my opinion, everything will probably be shaped through the lens of the existing FBS rather than existing D1. This is all football centric so that logically makes the most sense to me.. I can very easily see the existing 136 being “saved” in some capacity together, its hard to imagine the broader ~380 “Division 1” all being together still in 10 years
Not only have they not helped they’ve hurt our chances. How hard is it to keep a mouth shut?Without getting into the politics of it, I can't think of anything either of UConn's current senators have done in their current or previous elected positions, which has helped UConn.
They're not effective for advancing UConn's positions when they speak or act publicly.

Disagree. They stay on the sidelines whenever it's not politically advantageous for them not to. It was stupid for Murphy to open his mouth on an issue he was ill informed about in opposition to what the school and the governor wanted. My guess is he thought he had taken the temperature of the room off of reading what the.UConn Twitter idiots were posting. Not a great look.For any politician? Very hard.
Well, keep sending a new one to him weekly until he does.He never responded to my respectful email on this
