Can college athletics as we knew it survive, not only after athletes get their $2.9 Billion ($300M/school) but also if they get a cut of broadcast revenue (BNIL). Even if that 20% revenue sharing is also approved costing roughly $30M/school, athletes and lawyers will likely not stop there and want up to 50% like in the pros.

Sources: Big 12 first to settle House v. NCAA case
The Big 12 conference became the first named party in the House v NCAA case to vote to settle that case and related anti-trust cases, sources told ESPN.
Of course this is only the plaintiff's side of the story fed to the reporter by the attorney representing the plaintiff.

of course (similar to the prosecutor's version of the TJS sex assault). then again, it's clear that Florida (which includes their boosters) didn't live up to their end of the deal
Interesting because I thought multi-year deals couldn't be done. Perhaps the original agreement was unenforceable.

The only thing I know for certain is prices will be going up. That money will be coming from somewhere and the consumer is the ultimate revenue source. I cant envision exactly how it all plays out, but I don’t think donors will be the only ones required to fund this. As more money is required I wonder how long revenue sharing for the schools lasts. It’s been discussed ad nauseam I know, but the pace of change just seems to accelerate.
Edit: Posted prior to seeing the basketball forum thread. My comments are mostly redundant to the better discussion there.

$13.85 MM?!! Holy Cow.
And if NIL money keeps climbing, at some point schools in states with no income tax will have an advantage - just like in the NHL.

Members of NC State '83 title team sue NCAA
Ten players from NC State's 1983 national champion basketball team have sued the NCAA and the Collegiate Licensing Company seeking compensation for unauthorized use of their name, image and likeness.
I disagree with this lawsuit. I think film of u playing in the NCAA is the property of the NCAA. It will be interesting how this turns out
Agree, it should be dismissed immediately, but our court system is nuts.Members of NC State '83 title team sue NCAA

Judge issues ruling in bankruptcy case of Deion Sanders' son Shilo
Shilo Sanders wanted a judge to throw out a complaint that challenges his attempt to discharge $11 million in debt. The judge didn't agree.
Bankruptcy is an interesting concept. Will be interested to see how this turns out. My understanding is Sanders didn’t show up to the court case that issued him at fault and ordered the 11 million in damages

Woohoo! ONIT Athlete has just announced the 2024 Illinois Football NIL Trading Cards. If you order now you can also order a special WHITE OUT card. The basketball cards were pretty good and the company seems to be ramping up their effort to a lot more colleges and different sports. A really cool way to support players and get cards that were never available before. I don't work, nor get paid by ONIT, but as a card collector I'm pretty excited, even though I follow Illini Basketball more than Football. I ended up pre-ordering 2 boxes, and hoping they release the special boxes that are a bit more expensive but include 3 guaranteed autos. At this point if there is an Illini sport I'll buy at least 1 box.
Here's my unboxing of cards from the Basketball series (now sold out):

Very cool! I’m not a collector, but if I had a pre-teen son or grandson, I sure would buy these to help start him to be one…I wonder if they’ll start doing these for women’s basketball with the popularity of Caitlyn Clark?

They have them for women's basketball but the sports are different for each school and depends on what each school wants to do. Also for superstars like Caitlyn Clark that have signed deals with Panjni or Topps that I exclude them from others making cards their cards are omitted from the NIL cards. What's cool is they try to do the whole team, not just the super stars, at least for basketball. Football teams are huge so not sure if they do everyone.
