8.8 Billion Divided by 347 divided by 13 equals $1,950,786.97 the extension was for 8 more year so that is $243,848.37 per player in the NCAA per year. That just the CBS contract, that's not Fox or ESPN also.

It doesn't matter how you multiply, divide or square root it, very few schools profit from their basketball programs.

Ok then lets look at how much the schools and NCAA bring in each year per athlete then compare. I bet the NCAA and schools end up way ahead. Thats why they keep the system as is

I'm all for paying players. I say, take away scholarships and free room and board and trainers and so on.

Pay them a contract.

And from the money from the contract, they can pay for their own room and board, tuition, books, gym membership, and so on. They can pay taxes from it to.

Tuition is only running $10,000 for residents for 30 hours and $23,000 for non-residents per 30 hours. Plus rent, plus food, plus books for 4 years.

Let's see which life the kids end up choosing.

Sounds to me like a leadership problem then if I just found a quarter of a million per player per year and its only from 1 of the multiple big tv contracts. That doesn't include Ticket Sales, Donations, Concessions, Merchandise.

Ok, and since i just showed you a quarter of a million dollars a year per athlete just from the Tuner/CBS contract extension lets see what the choose.

What should their salary be per player? Since you clearly have the answers.

 

[KBaden145]

if players were allowed to transfer without penalty, any parody would be gone and cheating would be even greater

I think parity is the word you were looking for but parody might also work...

Take all the money from all these revenue sources. Divide it By two, Schools NCAA and Coaches get half, players get half. Then player negotiate salaries like it works in the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc. The models are already in place. The business of college athletics is already on par with the others.

 

[SoonerBounce13]

Those kids get scholarships too,some paid for by the athletes, and they don't directly make the university millions of dollars a year like the athletes do. How the hell do you think OU got the Money to Renovate the Stadium. From a Pre-Med student? Are the liberal arts students making OU enough money to pay Boren, Stoops, Kruger, and Castglione?

missing the point

i didn't realize we forced kids into these situations

So schools like Lamar get paid the same as kids at OU?

Sounds like these kids are already in the NBA. Then they would have to hire agents to negotiate these contracts.

And in the end, the end result is that there are no more athletics in college and then all these kids who were going to college on a free ride who aren't ready for the NBA are now taking out loans to go to college or aren't going to college at all.

I think you are kind of missing the point of what collegiate athletics is about for 99% of STUDENT athletes.

What you are describing is a professional league

Its almost as if once Billions of Dollars get involved it becomes a Business.

missing the point

The point is, you make you boss lots of money and he compensates you. You feel like he doesn't compensate you fairly, or just want a change of scenery, you can go get another job at any time. The athletes nope. Everyone is free to leave for whatever reason but the athlete.

You should do some research b/c you apparently don't think kids are being compensated

Add 4 years of college tuition
4 years of a gym membership
4 years of a tutor
4 years of room and board
4 years of free clothing
4 years of free food
4 years of free trainers
4 years of free books
4 years of free supplements

That equals = $$$$$$?

lol the athletes can leave anytime they want. If they want to go play and earn money they can. nobody is forcing them to be a student athlete

out of state tuition (year round not just 2 semesters) plus unlimited meals plus housing

at OU for sure runs north of 50k a year per kid ... and that doesn't count nutritionists strength coaches trainers not to mention bball facility's and basketball coaches ..

Is he paying the people that work at CBS...the refs, the light crew, the custodians, the agents these kids will hire and so on?

CBS is paying their employees now, not the schools or the NCAA. As for the others, just like in the NBA the players get their 50% and the others get their 50%. It works for them just fine.

Now as to tution

http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/university-of-oklahoma-norman-campus/paying-for-college/tuition-and-fees/

OU Tutitin and Fee - 20,469 out of state
Room and Board, Boks Ect - 14,460

so that is 35,000.

I will assume that $300,000 is half of total gross revenue, since there is more that just the 1 CBS/Tuner Contract. The agent is 10% so that is 270,000. so now the kids have $235,000 for trainers, gym, supplements, and clothes a year. This doesn't count any outside money they can get for their likeness, their jersey being sold, autographs, etc. The math works, you just don't like it. Even when you take out taxes because they get to write off all their school and Basketball expenses.
