Thanks for posting Blake!

Any insights on whether Title IX will be invoked by those questioning why > 90% of the settlement money will go to men?  Especially if women's basketball becomes a source of revenue with bigger TV contracts?  I get it, football and men's basketball generate most all the athletic department revenue, but Title IX law may not look at it that way.

Are existing NIL deals grandfathered in (say USC for example) or will they be subject to review by the NIL Go team?

Any fears that schools without football teams but strong basketball teams might dominate since they can spend much more on BB than those funneling 75% to football?

I'm looking forward to seeing how they enforce the outside NIL deals too.  It seems anyone with a large social media presence can generate a lot of $$ from sponsoring companies in their posts - Livvy Dunne for example, or Texas track and field guy Sam Hurley, who was earning around a million/year on social media even though few Texas sports fans ever heard of him.

Just as long as we don’t have the softball umpires reviewing the NIL deals we should be ok.

We might get back to more off the books payments that don't get reported to schools or to the new commission.   If it comes to light later- "Oops, I forgot to report it".  Of course, if they also forget to tell the IRS that opens a new can of worms.

I have never understood this issue with walk-ons?

Quote

The settlement was temporarily help up in court by the issue of roster limits, as programs already began cutting walk-ons and other players in anticipation of the salary cap. That was resolved through a "grandfathering" agreement that will delay some roster limits if players were already promised a spot.

I can only assume that walk-ons are also required to receive salary just like scholarship players?
