I think that is mostly correct but I think one part is wrong.

Mar 18, 9:20am

You're right, 888. It is a CAP, not a FLOOR. $20.5 MM maximum in 2025-2026.

Six Foot Seven

Correct. That's why you have some schools "declaring" that they'll meet the 20.5 mil max

It's simultaneously a floor and a cap depending on how you look at it...

The changes are definitely a positive change. There’s so much money in college football and men’s basketball

There should be a NIL threshold where athletic scholarships go away.

Don’t be fooled. The blue bloods will go right back to circumventing the “rules”

This seems closer to a unrestricted free market. Less corruption.

Rev share cap for this year is $20.5M. 70% to FB players; 20% to MBB players; 5% to Women's BB; 5% to all other sports.

yeah 5% for WBB is about $1million for 15 players, so $66K each. WNBA earns

That number reported for Dybantsa is not the rev sharing number it's NIL.

Is that 70/20/5/5 split decided/dictated by BYU, Big 12, NCAA, settlement negotiations? Who?

Revenue share should be based on revenue contribution. At Utah that would mean the women’s gymnastics would get more….

Don't assume NIL is replacing the envelopes of cash. Consider those envelopes...

It’s part of the NCAA-House settlement and is standard across all schools. BYU will be paying the maximum.

No need to compare AJ to you. You are both, likely, in very different markets and valued differently from an employer
