NCAA in "Deep Discussion" to Implement Revenue Sharing with Athletes

This just proves that there is a s#!t ton of money here. 

250mil * 32 = 8 billion dollars

75.2mil * 18 = 1.35 billion dollars for one conference and only 7% of the total teams in FBS

I just did the math for the P4 schools.  BigTen at $75.2M; SEC at $51.3M; BigXII at $50M and the ACC at $44.8M per school and ND at $50M.  That's a whopping $3.35B for P4+1 media rights deals for roughly double the teams.

So the total dollars are probably pretty similar.  It's just getting sliced up in a lot more pieces for college teams.

I mean... keep in mind that this is just one professional sport, versus the combined total of all college sports. To even begin to make it an apples to apples comparison, you'd at least need to add the NBA's TV revenue to the NFL's.

I give this less than three months before they get sued and get an injunction because there is zero chance that this is legal.

Right, the weird part is that this requires athletes to not seek employment status - where they're likely to make more money - and there's no guarantee that courts won't agree that they're price fixing labor anyway. 

No matter how it's sliced, we're kicking the can down the road to eventual CBAs.

My main argument is that talent for major sports, especially football is already consolidated to a handful of teams. 

I fear that 105 scholarships will make this sport borderline unwatchable. If Ohio State/Bama/Georgia each hoard 20 more 4* players, the rest of the sport will fight for scraps.
