I saw a post from him that stated that teams using that suite, that the NIL market is up roughly 35% from last year. If a player was worth $1MM last year, that's worth about $1.35MM this year. :rolleyes: If we did indeed spend $6.5MM on this roster...just to keep status quo...we'd have to spend about $8.8MM this year? This is not sustainable. Something has to give at some point.

if / when there is a CBA basketball and especially football players will make far more then they do now

No way University presidents actually allow that to happen right?

That's what they have fought forever. And I heard someone make a good point the other day -- there are over half a million NCAA athletes. It would be awfully difficult for that large a group to unify in such a way that collective bargaining would be easy to pull off.

that is why they don't want it to happen .. even though it would fix all the other stuff .. ( it also kills funding for the other sports and lots of the athletic dept admin bloat)

it would not be the entire group ... it would be football players only .. bball players only .. (the rest don't make any money )

It would still be hard to get a consensus unless you narrow it even further to just power conferences. An Alabama QB and a Kent State backup TE don't have much in common.

well most seem to think a "super league" focused around the BIG10 and SEC is coming for Football at least in the next 10 years ..

so i would think those players would be the basis for the union ..

This is correct. There will be a break away of the top 60-70 teams, whatever number they decide. Kent st will not be a part of it so that’s not a good comparison.

Where is the money going to come from? The schools don't have it.

the OU athletic dept generates over 200 mil a year .. and that number is only going up .. they have plenty of money ..


at some point college football players (who generate the huge majority of that money) will wise up and ask why are they funding mens and womens track at all the ast and asoc athletic directors ..
 
No one knows how things will look in 10 years, just like no one 10 years ago could have envisioned the current setup. But one thing that is clear is that there is plenty of money. The salaries that coaches and ADs make, and the value of all the media deals, is proof of that. And the tourney ratings, just like the regular season ratings, keep improving.

One thing slightly off topic but at least somewhat related when it comes to budgets and paying players: college teams have such bloated rosters. NFL teams suit up fewer than 50 guys on game day. College teams have so many damn players that guys have to change jerseys occasionally for special teams. Look at the sideline and you see an endless supply of guys in street clothes. In the days of walkons, there was no downside to that, but if you are paying guys, that money adds up.
