New Article on Rev Share

[Scrutineer]

Oh look, another article stating the Big East will have an advantage once revenue share comes in.

College basketball’s transfer portal opens with prices rising again. Which schools will keep up?

"That’s especially true for basketball programs in the Power 4 leagues, which fear that non-football-playing schools, especially in the Big East, will have an advantage. SEC and Big Ten programs may have an easier time setting aside the $20.5 million for athletes because they bring in more in revenue, but what, for instance, is to stop Villanova or St. John’s from allocating $15 million for men’s basketball alone?

“You might see the Big East be back back,” the GM said."

Have you read the entire article?
If you have and still think the SEC and B1G won't drive the changes necessary to keep control of basketball you haven't been paying attention to what they've already done.
Greg Sankey will decimate the tournament to get more money and control for his teams.
The SEC and B1G have been partners in their efforts to take over the NCAA.
Val Ackerman should not be smug about outsmarting the guys that have been step by step driving the changes that will allow the SEC and B1G to run everything to the benefit of their leagues.
Read to the end and you'll understand how they operate.
The only hope is the Deloitte review process will stop the cheating we can expect to see on NIL limits and Boeheim and others believe any challenges to those limits (which are based on historical data) will be turned down in the courts in the name of protecting the athletes.

Greg Sankey can't do anything about what his schools priorities are. For every SEC school bar UK and maybe Arkansas, football is priority a, b,c and maybe even D. What do you think will happen once a Texas or Alabama starts struggling football wise? Invest more in basketball?

ah yes, famed attorney and scholar Jim Boeheim esq lol....protecting the athletes is the entire point of the review process.

The question for UConn is, how much can we chip into the Big East Officials pension fund to get a reasonably fair whistle next year? Not looking for an advantage, more trying to figure out how to not get totally hosed.

I read the whole thing. There's only so much the SEC and B1G can do to exclude the Big East from the NCAA Tournament if the Big East has the best teams. Whatever further changes they inflict are likely to benefit their leagues and perhaps harm the event as a whole, but it won't be at the Big East's expense.

I haven't been the biggest Val fan, but we're beginning to see evidence that her approach is paying off. She's clearly a smart businesswoman who seems to have the league well-positioned to absorb whatever change is coming.

Figured this needed it's own thread. So much for the Big East not being able to compete moving forward. Also, someone tell yahoo sports that UConn is the furthest thing from a mid major.

Could impending rev share-changes help cinderellas in the future everybody will be in the game

This is temporary because then when this blows the lid off the "students aren't employees" argument, it will blow apart any restrictions on payments. Power conferences are playing the long game at the expense of college athletics literally everywhere else.

Did you read the article lol

Greg Sankey and multiple Power conference ADs are on record saying the Big East will have more revenue share for basketball than them. Seems to me like it will be enough

Until the rules change.

Similar article from Front Office Sports.

“As we look ahead to this revenue-sharing model, I think that can be, and maybe will be, an advantage for us,” Big East commissioner Val Ackerman told Front Office Sports after the conference tournament, “because our schools can direct their dollars, whether it’s direct payments by the schools or monies from the third parties through collectives, or other third-party entities. We could go right to basketball.”

Basketball-Only Schools May Get Power With House Settlement

Schools with FBS football programs face a major dilemma: how much revenue-sharing cash should go to basketball programs.

What has Val done?

What has Val done?

Well, she's been the commissioner of the new league since its inception, so I'm assuming a lot.

I have been chicken little on this; but with the football team in JM's very capable hands we are gonna get grabbed up and the conference that gets us is lucky. Husky football fans have start filling the Rent....

I think this puts a bigger strain on the UConn- Big East relationship.
UConn has football expenses.
UConn is the value driver in Big East media deal.

UConn and DePaul are making same revenue from Big East Media deal. I’m guessing DePaul also gets equal share of NCAA tourney credits.

You said we've seen evidence that her approach is paying off. What approach?
