quote:

But even the potential settlement comes with big questions, including how revenue sharing will work in conjunction with Title IX, whether the NCAA can leverage a settlement into more cooperation (and protection from future lawsuits) from Congress and whether all schools will be required to spend -- or be capped at -- a specific amount. Multiple administrators who spoke with ESPN on the issue voiced concerns that some schools will receive an equal share of the league's television revenue but spend far below the $20 million maximum on players.
ESPN

Lets say Vandy continues to collect 60+ mil a year in tv revenue (10x their actual value) but continues to invest far less than other conference members into athletics. All 15 other members spend their full salary cap but Vandy refuses to pay football players due to budget or equity concerns. Would that get them kicked out? At some point there will be elite, large endowment universities who find the pay for play model in such conflict with their overall academic mission that they go in another direction than the top 50 or so football schools.

I thought the schools couldn’t pay players? Why would tv shares go to players?


Oh that’s right the revenue goes into facilities, weight rooms, living conditions, food and travel.

How about the money gained from the clicks in the article goes to the staff instead of the corporation.

They should be kicked out. College football made the decision a long time ago to go professional with the TV contracts. You cant go half in. Vandy has different goals. They should be out

Bud Selig got rich screwing over Milwaukee fans by keeping the money and he gets to be in charge of Baseball forever.

Franklin proved vandy can be competitive in football, their basketball was good and baseball has won championships. It’s all gone to crap with baseball barely hanging on. What the heck happened? Do they just not care anymore?

If they have vacated the notion of trying then maybe they should pursue other endeavors elsewhere. I don’t believe in kicking anyone out but they need to be persuaded to increase their efforts.

I heard we need Vanderbilt’s private emails to evade FOIA.


How true was that?

Vandy should consider going D3 or just eliminate athletics

Wait I forgot about this part. ESPN literally holds the contract for revenue with the SEC and they’re writing articles about the money?

Liberal fricks. I have to hand it to them

Cheap owners have been a pro sport problem for time immemorial.

It's not a secret in academic administrative circles that Vandy has major financial issues.

They are scraping every last dime out of athletics (and everywhere else) to keep that ship afloat.

Athletics is about the last thing on their minds. The alumni don't care. Why should their admins?

Word will get out I'm sure if that's the case and they'll be even less effective in the major sports.
