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.

The future of college football does not include me.

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.

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

A great example on how marketing without a quality product can do wonders....

Hopefully the tv deals will pay it.

That's not happening.

Saban quit because he couldn’t get players to be “employees” of the school. Sorry Nick and Bama, looks like you have to win fair and square now.

The super conference when it leaves the NCAA. It’s the only way it works
