The House case

[pepband99]

That is not what I said. I said that if the P2 has so much leverage, why don't they just make the other schools pay all of it?

Nobody has any leverage, or at least enough to offset treble immediate damages risk.

We see your alternate plan proposal and piss on it:

1. The finance subcommittee of the NCAA DI Board of Directors is recommending to the Board the original proposal
2. The DI Board of Directors’ approval of the financial framework would be the second of a three-step process in the NCAA’s authorization of settlement terms
3. NCAA Board of Governors, which manages litigation matters & is set to meet this week, represents the final step

So I looked at the DI Board of Directors. If this is current, the Big East is not represented.
"Composition: Twenty-four members. Twenty chief executive officers (CEOs), one director of athletics, one senior woman administrator, one faculty athletics representative and one student-athlete. All FBS conferences have a permanent seat. Five FCS and five Division I Subdivision conferences rotate seats."

I am a little disappointed by the back pay expense split, but House is still going to leave a big mark. Going forward, football just became a lot less profitable. Now UConn would like some more chaos.

I wonder if that decision changes the calculus enough to kill the settlement agreement.

The P4 conferences and the NCAA thought they were buying a discharge of all suits. They no longer are.

Here's what the NCAA should do: settle the House case and then settle Fontenot case. Then end the amateurism charade and force all NCAA members to play every student athlete at least a minimum wage for all sports related activities. The $22 million cap is going to blow up in their faces should they should get rid of it. This is going to turn into a market similar of that for European soccer.

After a couple hundred NCAA schools leave the organization or drop sports, the NCAA can change the number of players allowed on a football roster to about 65. This will allow Title IX to be swallowed easier. Also, the major schools can drop the minimum number of men's sports to three and have a corresponding number of female roster spots.

, reductio ad absurdum
So are they now going to compensate SMU for their loss of millions of dollars due to the death penalty they received for doing something that they’re now mandating.. Why not ? Also of no what’s the rationale .

Jeremy Bloom is the one who needs to go back and clean house. He got sc----d.
But financial settlements do not equal systemic reform. They are simply a cost of doing the same dirty business.

I read this article before seeing the post by @huskymedic above
Notre Dame implores Congress to save ‘great American institution’ after ‘undesirable’ $2.8B NCAA settlement
Normally I'd be happy when Notre Dame complains, but this time...they have a point.

Do I read this right? 90% of the payoffs will go to P5 athletes while their "employers" will only pay 40% of the school contributions (despite probably also collecting 90% of the revenue during the damages period)?

And this is a surprise?

Yeah, we been kicking this around here. Its the ultimate do what we tell you or else power play by the P5.

And it worked.

Act Two will be expanding the NCAA Tournament to capture more pieces of the pie to help recapture money that they lost.

No disagreement from me on either front. The low and midmajor schools seem terrified of losing the association of rhe larger schools. This has been clear for a while.
