I'm not sure why yall are arguing with him about this. He is correct. Now if we want to argue about whether UK SHOULD spend that revenue pool on those sports....thats an entirely different issue.
He doesn’t want it to go to basketball either.

Ya, no way is 247 correct. That's just clickbait. Anything over 15 million and everybody needs to be fired. Even the janitor. Still even 15 million seems to be a huge ripoff, when JQ might not even play this year. At leat Lowe got hurt during BBM, which sucks, but at least he played.

We can all sing hippie campfire songs about women's basketball and volleyball but tossing large chunks of that revenue sharing at those minor sports is passing money away. Its an idiotic business decision.
Allowing those sports to profit off of NIL, as intended, is an entirely different subject and revenue stream.
Rev share and NIL are not the same bucket, which was my point.
Rev share can all be spent on football and basketball.

Correct. And I made that same point in my post. So, what are we talking about here

Didn't Jones say it was 65/25/10 for football,basketball and other sports? Doesn't mean it's correct tho.

So logic says ... assuming a fixed pool ... this can go a few ways.
The big check comes from the SEC. You HAVE to be at least in the conversation in football. And that's a fall sport. Any money wasted on Volleyball is wasted.
Now ... do you want to be a "Two Sport" entity ? Men's Basketball makes the most sense ... but if you want to say frick It you can pay the women instead. Or the wrestlers. Whatever. I'd say, for Kentucky ... it'll be the Men's Roundball.
And you can stop there. Or - pay a third sport in a third season. Which - honestly - could be Baseball or Softball. Both get about equal media exposure.
Its just the brutal math. Which Mitch isn't up to facing.

I don't know. I heard NIL was split between the 6 sports i mentioned.

And ... bullshite. You understand nothing.
NIL and Rev Share are EXACTLY the same bucket. The money that the school can directly pay.
You talk quite a bit. And understand jack and shite. On a concept so simple.
Talk less.

I don't know the specific breakdown off the top of my head, but my understanding is that UK was the lone dissenter of the 16 members for having a locked in/set distribution model because we specifically want year to year flexibility in how we invest in basketball, specifically due to concerns about schools without football programs ie St John's who can take the funds normally allocat2d to football and toss them all in on buying basketball players.
While that makes sense, I'd still point out that UK football generates more than 3x the revenue that basketball does.
Someone with some common fricking business sense needs to be put in charge. Which again is why I agree with Scogg.

, though they are both ways college athletes can be paid. NIL deals are earnings from third-party sources like endorsements, while revenue sharing is money a school distributes directly to athletes from its athletic department's revenue. Athletes can earn money from both sources simultaneously.

No way we were the lone dissenter on the proposed 75% football revenue. It would've passed whether we liked it or not. There are other programs in our situation. I'd doubt that would even pass by a simple majority.

Yes, we suck. frick you Florida and Auburn for jebaiting us to thinking we could make a bowl game.

You continue to do this. You are ... well ... you understand jack-shite.
Does Benny Snell get to sell his own Tee Shirts under this deal ? No. He does not. You don't seem to understand it.
Starting next season ... its a fixed pool, Benny has to ask permission from Deloitte, and here we go.
You're a moron, dude. You don't understand basic math. Or basic economics.

Beginning with the 2025–26 season, the NCAA settlement allows schools to make direct payments to athletes through a new revenue-sharing model, while existing NIL deals will continue alongside this new compensation structure. The two systems are distinct: revenue sharing involves direct payments from the university, while NIL deals are still compensations from third parties for an athlete's name, image, and likeness.

Didn't they pass a resolution that says that the NIL deals actually to be legit?

Yes

You just can't stop. Each school can direct pay - about - $23.5 million. And the rest ? It has to go through the accounting firm. Which, as of now, rejects 2/3 of the applications.
Keep quoting dumb shite you don't understand. You're just doing the Google without a clue about how it works.
Stop talking.

They already have it. Which I think is bullshite - but it already exists.
Delloitte is already auditing these deals. Which I don't like. But they are.
