... and away we go .....

This might be a good thing for us (schools without an unlimited budget) IFF: this means no NIL for anyone outside of that division.

If that doesn't change I don't really see any difference for us except we won't play those in the no rules division.

The funny part is universities paying a player more than Brock Purdy makes.

It’s all going to happen fast. The NIT grab was just the shot over the bow.



Good point. How would it impact Olympic sports? And a massive tax grab is there for the taking. And are the new “employees” W-2 or 1099 employees? And to the extreme, lifetime disability?

Don’t think this was fully thought out.

Ironic to use Olympic sports as a model for amateurish since the Olympics is not amateurs anymore either

30k per athlete. Does that include tennis, soccer, women’s hoops….. and other sport offered?

Yes......& 50% must go to women

This will be a very expensive club to join.

Instead of trying to reel in the insanity by instituting budget caps, they are doubling down.

Contemplating that would be like Martin Hall laughing at the very foundation of their existence

NCAA proposing new college athletics subdivision rooted in direct athlete compensation

The new subdivision would do the following:

• Schools may opt in or out to the new subdivision.
• New subdivision has strict minimum standrard rooted in athlete investment.
• Members may create their own NIL deals with their own athletes.
• Members may directly compensate athletes through a trust fund.
• Members are required to distribute to athletes "thousands of dollars in additional educationally related funds without limitation."
• No cap on the amount of funding that a program can provide an athlete.
• Entry into the subdivision requires a minimum $30,000 per year per athlete investment into the "enhanced education trust fund" for at least half of the school's countable athletes.
• Schools determine when the athletes receive the amount, which will total $120,000 for four-year athletes.
• Schools must abide by Title IX framework, 50% of the investment must be directed towards women athletes.
• NCAA will be over the subdivision and the members will compete against other members in Division 1. (Current CFP models and national championship selections methods are unaltered).
• Schools in the new subdivision have control of decision-making regarding schoolarship limits and countable coaches. Major conference programs can increase the limits or do away with them altogether.

You and I have talked about this a number of years going back before Maggard was hired and some people laughed at us on RP. I thought the number that would eventually separate was around 40 or 50, but that number will be much less than that when it settles.

And it appears teams can come and go. So there’s also a shout out to the fans of relegation. Well kinda.
