OU’s New AD

He’s saying something interesting things about college sports and the future.

Says collective bargaining is a 36-60 month process among other things.

Also:

Former Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl suggested a $25mm-$10mm revenue share split between football/basketball, a 2.5-to-1 ratio.

This is the problem.

No one can agree on much.

At Texas, that number would more likely be a 8 or 10 to 1 ratio.

Without collective bargaining, any "enforceable cap" or rules structure seems like pure delusion in my opinion. How can an organization designate with any level of certainty what the market for a player is. If team A has he resources and wants to pay player A $X.XX and the other school cannot afford it, seems pretty clear that the market value has been determined. I still think the way the two mega conference structure that we are approaching will need to operate the way the MLB does. I.E. luxury taxes on overspending. 

Would I love to have a brand new F250? Yeah, but I cannot afford it. Does not mean that my neighbor should have to live by the same rules.
