Here's the article Bilas is referencing: Sources: Non-Power 5 irked by settlement plan
Non P-4 commissioners and schools are upset that they are footing 40% of the costs of this lawsuit when they only had 10% of the players who will earn in the settlement. Effectively, DePaul will be paying for Kentucky's All-Americans.
And Bilas weighs in and says they have no right to be "irked." No sympathy for schools that lose 10s of millions in all this annually, and get peanuts back. No reckoning with the fact that basketball provides all the funds for the NCAA through the tournament. Bilas just says, TOUGH. Duke gets away with its many millions annually and pays just a fraction of the cost. Other schools will chip in 25% of their NCAA revenue.
The P-4 football schools are getting away with murder.
This is going to hurt the non-P4 schools for the next 10 years or more.
