With the Big Ten, SEC, and Big 12 all in the same room, you’re basically watching the top tier lay the groundwork for their own rulebook. This is the first real step toward the power leagues running the sport themselves and everyone else having to adjust.

This is dumb.  Doesn’t give the players any say and provides a single cap for football, baseball, and basketball.  If the no redirect is true, Texas being competitive in nearly everything will be a thing of the past.  You can either be good but not great in multiple big 4 sports or potentially great at one or two and significantly underfunded in the rest.

I agree. The member institutions of the SEC will regret this down the line.

Interesting to see what litigation will come if this passes both Chambers. As it stands now Football gets 75% of Rev Share out of 18 million, or 13.5 million. If the percentage stays the same then almost 17 million in Retention $. Total of 30-31 million.

Again percentages could change in the future if this passes. Now MBB gets 15% or 2.7 million. WBB gets 5% 900K, and all others sports 900K in Rev Share.  Be interesting to see how it works.

And yeah athletes in the future got screwed it seems. No collective bargaining etc. Can still get NIL deals that don't count toward the Rev Share , but seems that will be much harder now. Seems those Learfield, Nike deals etc  will count on Rev Share going forward. Will see , because things can definitely change in the House.

While true (about laying groundwork for their own rulebook), you are putting power in congress that doesn't belong there, will be fraught with issues, and too slow to react and adjust to changes... so actually while seems good, think it will ultimately be detrimental and will require the conferences to write their own rulebook...
