And should all players get a check for appearing on SEC network? What about the hurt players on crutches and wearing blue jeans with their jersey? Or just the ones who played on the field? And those who played, the players who put up the stats? What about the backup tight end who only saw action in the 3 kickoff returns his team received? Or what about the walk on running back who saw action on the kickoff team when his team was up 42-0 in garbage time? He was wearing Nike and appeared on TV after all.

All players. All sports. The conferences should be going to bat for the students or with student representatives during contract negotiations to figure out what percentage of the total sum of the contract figure will go directly to athletes. Then, all student athletes get an equal cut of that percentage.

What about a team like Akron who will play 2-3 non conference games against big name teams on ESPN/SEC Network? Should they get a cut, or just the school who is bringing in the eyeballs?

Let their conference figure it out. Will this affect recruiting? Of course. But that's inevitable in any scenario. In 5-10 years, athletes will be getting monetary compensation in some form or fashion and it will add a new twist to how schools compete in recruiting players. But it's happening whether we're ready for all the shite that comes with it or not.
