Re: It should benefit Clemson, unless Dabo finds a reason not to embrace it.***

You guys don't understand the revenue sharing settlement at all. It won't help Clemson at all, and might hurt it even further.

First, it has 0 impact on NIL. The NCAA cannot do anything about NIL after Kavanaugh's opinion. Players will continue to hire agents and find the most lucrative NIL deals. Those will not be impacted at all by the settlement. The only hope at curbing NIL is that boosters will tire of spending millions for no results and will lower the current enormous deals (but hope springs eternal for fans, so I think that's unlikely).

Second, it sounds like they haven't decided how revenue sharing will work. The revenue sharing is based off of media deals, which are negotiated at the conference level. It's possible they will dole out revenue sharing payments based on their conference deals. If that's the case, the Big Ten and SEC players will receive higher revenue sharing money than ACC and Big 12 players. That will be even more incentive for players to not join those poorer conferences.

I don't see any way it benefits Clemson.

That sounds right except for 2 caveats

1. The House vs NCAA case settlement has a clause that says that the NCAA can "review" NIL deals of $600 or more to make sure they are "legit". Since the NCAA is disingenuously calling revenue sharing "NIL", it's not clear if they're trying to encroach in the Tennessee caseinjunction against their interference in private NIL or not.

If they're talking about private NIL, that could delay the settlement even more because some athletes are challenging the NIL clause. It would also get an automatic appeal due to the conflict with the Tennessee case. Where that would go, no one knows for sure, but it's likely the Sherman Antitrust Act would prevail.

2. The revenue sharing is reportedly capped in the neighborhood of $20 to $22 million annually. That won't hurt Power 5 schools all that much. It could kill sports at some smaller schools.

One example - Troy, a middling program made a reported $33 million on football last year. $22 million is 2/3 of their revenue.

There's been lots of talk about private NIL being a money problem. Revenue sharing may actually end up being a bigger problem for non P4 conferences.

How so?

It should benefit Clemson, unless Dabo finds a reason not to embrace it.***
