Are they going to bill all the athletes that play sports that lose money?
This is revenue sharing, not profit sharing. That's the big issue here. You start pulling 25%-50% off the top line revenue and there won't be many schools left in the black. As someone said earlier, there would have to be cuts across the board in athletics departments.
It would almost be worth it to see the reactions from college professors when they realize that not only are coaches making more money than them, but the college is also paying the players sitting in (or skipping) their classes more than them.
