The NCAA and Power 5 proposed settlement yesterday (5/23)  will have the most significant impact on college sports in history.  Much is still not known but the fact that it excluded all the other Conferences wile at the same time expecting those conferences and their members (UCONN) to make payments into the settlement  pool.  From what I have read this will involve schools directly paying students directly, over and above everything they get now  Cl;early this is likely going to be the end of non-revenue sports as they are now structured.  If schools have field hockey, swimming, LAX etc it will need to be on a club-no scholarships basis.

Left to be worked through are such "minor matters" as who on the revenue producing teams will get $$$ and who will make those decisions.  Let's just look at last years; UCONN WBB  team.  If this system had been in place who would make the $$$ decisions on the players pay?  Would Ines have been paid the same as Paige?  Does Geno really want to have to get involved in this $ distribution process?  Would a teams "salary budget" be based on its bottom line (profit)?

A disaster for college sports is happening as we try to determine starting lineups!
