  • I'm still parsing through articles on the House settlement but one thing I did grab from the Extra Points newsletter is that there is a de facto salary cap in place now at 20.5 million in direct payments to athletes per school per season and that number will slide up every year. The number is based of of something called called the MFRS report

    How that's going to hold up in court is anyone's guess because someone will surely sue the CSC or NIL Go over it at some point. The reason it's a de facto cap and not a real hard one is that unlike the NBA or NFL there's no union to negotiate a CBA with and therefore no CBA.

    "
    While the $20.5 million figure is a hard cap on paper, the ability for schools to shift budget allocation year-to-year between teams allows athletic departments to tweak team-wide budgets to account for changing priorities or invest in a team that seems “one piece away.”

    These three recalculations will be based on Membership Financial Reporting System (MFRS) reports, which aggregate revenue streams from institutions within the Pac-12, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, and ACC, including football-independent Notre Dame.2

    Given the trajectory of media rights valuations and a heightened focus on revenue generation to offset the burden of athlete compensation, these recalibration years could yield significant spikes to schools' revenue-sharing caps."

    • The House settlement is having an impact at UK. They have just announced that faculty and staff no longer will receive discounts for the purchase of season tickets in any sport. Also, they no longer will get free tickets to individual games. Full price.

      • Welp. Politics and sports have intersected. This probably isn't going to be good for anyone involved.

          • Executive Orders that usurp Congress's Article I powers don't last five minutes in federal courts. Someone is undoubtedly in the process of filing suits. Even if this held up, the next administration could reverse it. Such orders do not constitute legislation.

            • I like the concept in theory, especially speicfying that athletes are not university employees. I had to laugh at the part prohibiting 3rd party direct payments unless there is an endorsement, then it goes on to say the NCAA has had this rule for the past several years. Oh well, 2 steps forward, one step sideways.
