Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 4008683, member: 6488"] Another "misunderstanding" is that the schools are sharing revenue with the athletes now. They're not. Whatever revenue flows will come out of the pockets of folks who want to pay for access to the players' NILs, not from the schools. The NCAA is also not paying the athletes a penny. What the players have gained is the right to sell their NILs, excepting certain products deemed "illicit" by the individual schools. The fear of the NCAA is that the courts will declare them as in violation of anti-trust laws and move to break up the organization. The Supreme Court has clearly stated that it would certainly do this in a future case. Almost as bad for the NCAA (and schools) would be having to share the TV revenue with the players. That's where the big bucks are, and they are not (yet?) filtering down to the folks whose blood, sweat, tears earn them. [/QUOTE]
