Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4746438, member: 833"] People keep conflating the TV revenues with the resources schools can use to pay players. Those are two different buckets, both per the rules, and from a practical standpoint. There are a lot of institutional claims on every nickel of TV revenue at every school, and none of them are super-excited about sharing that pool with players. NIL, on the other hand, is the wild west, and has little to nothing to do with the TV revenue. For example, I could see Boise, the only show in town in a small city that has a lot of millionaires, becoming a major player again because there should be a lot of boosters and corporations willing to throw cash around. Fresno is the only show in town in central California farm country. UConn is the only show in town in a wealthy state with lots of corporations and funds to contribute to NIL. Who funds Mississippi State's NIL? They were big time when putting $50,000 of cash in a duffel bag made you a player. Now, not so much. [/QUOTE]
