Who will pay for revenue sharing

Heard about this today and found it interesting but not surprising. Seems a lawsuit against the ncaa begins this January from former players wanting compensation from years past. Correct me if I got the essence of the lawsuit incorrect. Seems the powers to be want to make things right before then in hopes of suit going away.
Heard somewhere around 8% of revenue shared with players. Assume that’s gross. So, take $200 million total athletic department revenue and thats $16 million. Quite a hit. Where will the school get that money?
Here’s where the real separation amongst schools begins. Side deals with the networks per school.
Alabama 7.12M (11 games)
Ohio State 6.05M (11)
Colorado 6M (9)
Georgia 5.9M (11)
Michigan 5.61M (12)
Tennessee 4.57M (7)
Oregon 4.43M (10)
Texas 4.26M (12)
Florida State 4.16M (12)
Notre Dame 4.15M (10)
Alabama was most watched team last year. Roughly 77,000,000 eyeballs. Alabama tells Sankey they want $.25 cents per viewer in addition to whatever overall deal the SEC has negotiated. Alabama’s leverage is leaving the conference. Or getting rid of Sankey.
That’s $19,250,000 million.
Sorry for long winded post but this is a big deal that going to change the sport we all love.

Who will pay? Maybe the same dumb fricks that pay coaches $27M - $85M not to coach.
CFB lost the argument on paying players with idiotic buyouts for coaches nobody wants.

Sankey's mission is to make that happen anyway. The schools you list plus a 10 or so more will form a league where every game is plus-ratings. That's the only way the networks will pay for all this shite.

My crystal ball shows this leading to formation of Super SEC with 32 teams taken from Big 12, ACC, Big 10, and a few G5 with massive potential.
I don’t think the SEC would be well served getting in bed with the Big 10. Take away OSU and Penn St, Michigan their brand of ball is boring.
I see two conferences evolving like old AFC and NFC. 32 teams each.
Super Bowl for college. Other teams go their own way.
Players become employees. Collective bargaining. Contracts. Draft like NFL. No recruiting. Players must stay 4 years minimum and graduate for full compensation.
Structured exactly like NFL.
Yes, we fans will pay. Me, I’m watching on big screen. But, I do see streaming coming and having to pay for top games. I expect in next round eventually Amazon, Apple, Netflix etc will buy certain games. Can you imagine LSU/ Bama with 12 million eyeballs paying $4.99 to watch on Amazon. I’ll pay.

I had no clue about this and it appears to be something that the aggy fans will traumatically remember about their big12 days.
Larger portions of the pie via side deals.
But it will instantly make you wonder if Alabama/UGA should get the same amounts-or-portion as Vanderbilt/Missouri

The top .01% of college coaches make that kind of money and it is after being in the business for 30 fricking years. How in the frick are you going to compare 100 teenagers to that? It is asinine to pay these kids what they are paying them and it is just going to frick most of them up because they aren't learning the skills they need to learn before they make crazy amounts of money so they can have the discipline to deal with it properly.
The fans are paying for it. The fans pay for everything.

Sounds boring. Might as well watch the pros.

Nobody is gonna pay extra to watch college football. It worked for Peacock but it had the NFLs brand and Talir Swift.

I respectfully disagree. I’d venture it probably will be for individual games along with free games. SEC will need to raise more revenue things will get greedy. For us rabid college fans, we’ll pay to watch Texas / OU, Bama/ LSU, Texas / A&M etc. The free games will be like Missouri/ Vandy. Etc . I don’t like it but the asshats that run the sport already don’t give a F—. About us. So why should they hesitate to bleed as much as they can from us?
Texas was a little ahead of its time with the LHN but had the right idea.
