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.

This is where you're losing them man. Alabama, Ohio State, Southern Cal, you name it....even they are investing men's basketball. OF COURSE the greatest MBB program in history is going to do so.

The issue isn't dollars that could go to football going elsewhere. MBB generates a solid profit. The issue is how that's invested. It's always been laughable about how UK cries poor in football and woe is me we play in the SEC. That's horseshite. We are probably the only, maaaaaaaybe Tennessee, SEC program who generates revenue from MBB.

My point is, the rest of them HAVE to take money from their football rebeneuand put it towards MBB, in addition to all the other sports. We are one of a handful of schools on the nation where MBB isn't merely self sustaining, it's a bread winner.

The fact we haven't taken that extra revenue and invested it into football, which is what pays the bills and keeps the lights on, is fricking malfeasance.

So, yeah, UK SHOULD take some of that revenue sharing and put it towards MBB. You saying they shouldn't is insanity. The issue is how they spend the revenue. That has ALWAYS been the problem here. It's complete bullshite.

All I said all along was that revenue sharing and NIL are separate buckets of money, one paid by the schools and one from 3rd party participants. You act like its just one source. Its not.

Stop Talking - You are a Moron.

Now we're doing the "Not What I Meant" portion of your idiotic rant. You have no idea. No concept. No clue.

Rev Share and NIL are ONE bucket. No school can "pump up" NIL next year. Not how it works at all.

Just stop talking.

Why do you think?

RETARD !!! Because there is a literal cap on it next year !!!

My God - you are belligerent and dumb.

The cap is on rev share, not nil.

From what I've read, it has to be legit NIL. No paying players to just be here on the NIL dole.

---

Well yeah, but you think companies and fans aren't going to "pony up"?

Because they won't be able to pony up.

Although, I don't think there's a cap on NIL, per se, just that they're gonna be hard as frick to get approved.

No, they aren't. What the hell are you talking about man?

From what I gather; a hard cap on player salary from the athletic budget, but not from NIL. Although, most NIL's will be rejected. Unless, you're Duke. Then players can be paid for simply taking a dump.

Its a funnel. You can't pay Jimmy more than the value of his appearance.

And its low - according to everything that's been passed through the process.

Let us not pretend that the "Sky Is the Limit". You're not paying the next Arch a few million by slicking it through NIL.

Boys - here's where it's going to happen next. The getting around NIL accountants.
