Who benefits the most from the House settlement?

Besides the players of course…
I’m guessing we are about to see some “cost cutting” from athletic departments.

I think it's pretty stupid that they are having to pay people who agreed to everything on previous terms.
The entire thing is terrible and nothing more then envy destroying organizations for being successful.
Nobody wins in the end, not even the majority of players because the 99% are being sacrificed to appease the top 1%.
With talk of expanding the playoffs even more and conferences being given a certain amount of AQ spots, it all has less than 10 years before it's gone the way of Nascar.

I just don't want the guy or girl who's trying to pay for college with a scholarship in a non-revenue sport to be harmed by the decision.

Part of the settlement includes increasing scholarship numbers so that everyone on the roster can (if the school is willing to fund it) be on a full scholarship. For example, baseball goes from 11.7 to 34, but that 34 is the roster cap (no walkons after the current group cycles through). Not every school will fund the limit, but it will inject a lot more scholarship money into these sports.

I wonder how much they will have to pay each of those people in 15 years when someone decides they weren't given enough money.

The Lawyers. Said in a cynic TMZ voice.

Football players at LSU. Over 80% of the revenue sharing at LSU will go only to football players.

I posted an article about a week ago that's Tennessee and A&M so far are using the money to cover all scholarship spots. I think together, we added about 150 full scholarships across all varsity sports.
Im sure some teams won’t do that, and fund football only. It’s all the discretion of the schools. What Georgia does or Bama does or LSU does doesn’t matter at say Oklahoma. There is only caps, not rules on how to distribute money.

And that’s why players from lesser sports are going to sue….what a mess.

The schools. Again.
Because this judge still just did what it used to be ... a cap. She just bumped it up.
There is still booster money and media money and a ton of money trying to satisfy this demand that is winning at the semi-pro / not college but that's how you like it level.
And there's still some agency that I never made a bargain with - in this case the clearing house on what is "legit NIL" ... that is entitled to go through my check-book if I just want to lavish money on a college ball player.
Which ... look ... I'm not. It would be a "single mother in nursing school" before any Power Forward or Pulling Guard. But still ... its my money.
