Just get to professional league revenue sharing already

NBA players in aggregate receive between 49% and 51% of basketball-related income, NFL players get 48% of all revenue and NHL players get 50% of revenue. Those revenue splits encapsulate money generated from broadcast TV deals, tickets, merchandise sales and licensing.Oct 15, 2024.
Be fair about it. Do this for all NCAA sports, men’s and women’s,, football baseball basketball soccer lacrosse…….. all the way down to field hockey, etc.
For each individual sport divide the revenue among the players in that sport just like in the professional leagues. Men’s football players should do very well. Men’s basketball players should do OK. Everyone else gets exactly what their sport’s revenue brings in.

If they still want to have the semblance of a scholarship, take it out of the players revenue share. But if I’m a player, I’m not sure I want to take a bunch of sham psychology or communications classes. I’d rather save my money and come back to school when I can take math, science, engineering classes that will get me a good job when I finish.
Let’s face it, big-time college football players at the big programs aren’t allowed to take organic chemistry in premed given all of their practice time and playing as many as 15 or 16 games throughout the fall

Well back in the 60's and 70's, and probably every decade, you had FB players who went on to become medical doctors and were very good ones.

That was then. I don’t think athletic programs really want the responsibility of premed or engineering majors for football players now. Exceptions exist, but they’re not common.
If you are a female field hockey player who has the stress and responsibility of playing in front of your parents six times a year. Practice a few hours per week. You can major in whatever you want. It is not the same time constraint for the same scholarship.
Male football players provide a lot more value than other campus athletes for the same scholarship

They can take whatever they want within their majors and as electives.
Many of them choose to major in sports management, marketing, or other concentrations that prepare them to keep connected to a sports career after their playing days are over.

Yes. In theory they can take whatever class they want to.

Private equity is coming to CFB. Graham Neff and Clemson are in favor of it but won't go it alone. You need the whole conference or a majority of conference members to gain the most from it. A big private equity seminar is being held in Atlanta on Jan. 20, 2025 and Neff is one of the featured speakers. Another even bigger meeting is scheduled for April.

Actually, any single university can go after private equity

Example: Tennessee now gets around $5 million a year for letting a regional business out their logos on their field. They did not give up any naming rights to either their stadium or to their field to get the deal.
Example: FSU and tfecevture Big 12 are working on private equity deals.
Example: Clemson is exploring private equity deals. Clemson Ventures is considering private equity deals to support the University's sports programs.
