  • BROKE: BYU to Texas Tech, Every Big 12 School Owes $20 MILLION IMMEDIATELY, Destroying Sport Revenue

    BROKE: BYU to Texas Tech, Every Big 12 School Owes $20 MILLION IMMEDIATELY, Destroying Sport Revenue
    Jun 9 2025
    The landmark House v. NCAA antitrust settlement, which received final approval from a federal judge in late May 2025, is indeed set to impose a significant financial burden on all Division I universities, including BYU and others, primarily through a new model of direct athlete compensation. Here's how it will cost universities an estimated $20 million annually and why it's a challenge, particularly for schools outside the wealthiest tier:The $20.5 Million Annual Cap for Direct Athlete Payments:New Revenue Sharing: Starting on July 1, 2025, the settlement allows (and for Power Four conferences, effectively requires) Division I schools to directly share revenue with their athletes. This marks a revolutionary departure from the NCAA's long-standing amateurism model.Initial Cap: The initial annual cap for this direct athlete compensation is set at approximately $20.5 million per school for the 2025-2026 academic year. This cap is expected to increase by at least 4% annually over the 10-year term of the settlement.Across All Sports: This $20.5 million is intended to cover compensation across all varsity sports within the athletic department, not just revenue-generating sports like football and men's basketball.Funding Breakdown (General Expectation): While individual schools have discretion on how to allocate the funds, the general expectation is that the vast majority will go to the highest-revenue sports. Projections suggest:Around 75% ($15 million) will go to football players.Approximately 15% ($3 million) will go to men's basketball players.Around 5% ($1 million) to women's basketball players.The remaining 5% ($1 million) to all other sports.How This Hurts All Universities, Including BYU:Massive New Expense: This $20.5 million represents a brand-new, mandatory expense that athletic departments must now absorb. For many schools, even those in Power Four conferences, this is a significant and sudden increase to their annual operating budget.Budgetary Strain: Athletic departments, while generating substantial revenue, also have considerable expenses (coaching salaries, facilities, travel, scholarships, administrative costs). Adding $20.5 million per year for direct athlete pay will strain budgets, potentially requiring cuts elsewhere, increased fundraising, or even larger subsidies from the university's general fund (which often comes from student tuition or state appropriations).Maintaining Competitiveness: The "cost of doing business" in high-level college athletics has just dramatically increased. To remain competitive in recruiting and player retention, schools feel compelled to pay close to that $20.5 million cap. Failure to do so could put them at a disadvantage against rival programs that can afford to pay more.Impact on Non-Revenue Sports: While the majority of the money is expected to go to football and men's basketball, the requirement to allocate some funds to other sports, coupled with the overall budget strain, raises concerns for non-revenue generating sports. Some speculate that schools might have to cut certain sports or reduce opportunities (e.g., walk-on programs, which will also be impacted by new roster limits) to manage costs, although the settlement did include a compromise to "grandfather in" roster limits for current athletes.Funding the Back Pay: In addition to the annual direct payments to current athletes, universities (through their conferences) also contribute to the $2.8 billion in back pay for athletes who competed between 2016 and 2024. This payment is distributed over 10 years, further impacting conference revenue distributions to schools. The Power Four conferences are responsible for 24% of these damages, while the NCAA covers 40% and other conferences cover the rest through reduced distributions.Impact on BYU and Similar Schools:BYU, as a newly full-share member of the Big 12 (receiving around $50 million annually from media rights starting 2025-2026), is in a relatively strong position compared to some. However, it's still a significant financial challenge:Affordability Question: Even with their increased Big 12 revenue, the question remains if BYU can comfortably afford the full $20.5 million without impacting other areas. BYU has historically run a very lean, debt-free athletic department without direct Church funding for athletics. The increased Big 12 revenue in 2023-2024 (partial share) and 2025-2026 (full share) helps, but that $20.5 million is a new expense.In conclusion, the House v. NCAA settlement represents a fundamental shift in college sports, directly putting a $20.5 million annual bill on universities for direct athlete compensation. While necessary from a legal standpoint to avoid even larger liabilities, it creates a new and substantial financial pressure on all athletic departments, forcing them to re-evaluate budgets, revenue streams, and competitive strategies in this unprecedented era.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode...

  • NEW: Experts Give HONEST Update On Jake Retzlaff's BYU Future After Sexual Assault Allegation

    NEW: Experts Give HONEST Update On Jake Retzlaff's BYU Future After Sexual Assault Allegation
    Jun 6 2025
    The debate over the College Football Playoff (CFP) format has become a battleground reflecting the power dynamics in college athletics, with the SEC initially pushing for a model that would significantly favor it and the Big Ten over the Big 12 and ACC.The SEC's Initial Position: The "4-4-2-2-1" ModelFor some time, a prominent proposal, often associated with the SEC and Big Ten's interests, was the "4-4-2-2-1" model (or sometimes "4-4-2-2-1-3" for a 16-team playoff). This model would essentially grant: Four automatic bids each to the SEC and Big Ten.Two automatic bids each to the ACC and Big 12.One automatic bid to the highest-ranked Group of Five conference champion.The remaining slots would be at-large bids.Why the SEC (and Big Ten) Pushed for This:Guaranteed Dominance: This model would cement the SEC's position at the top of college football, ensuring a significant presence in the playoff every year regardless of individual team performance bumps. It provides a built-in advantage in terms of playoff access.Revenue Maximization: More playoff teams directly translates to more revenue for the conference and its member schools. Given the massive new media rights deals and the impending direct athlete compensation model, maximizing CFP revenue is paramount.Reducing Selection Committee "Bias": There's a feeling within the SEC (and Big Ten) that the selection committee has, at times, overlooked strong teams from their conferences due to perceived inconsistencies in the "eye test" or a desire for broader representation. Guaranteeing more automatic bids would lessen the committee's power to exclude their top-tier teams.Strength of Conference Argument: SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey often argues that the SEC's strength of schedule is unmatched, and therefore, more of their teams deserve to be in the playoff even with more losses than teams from other conferences. Guaranteeing spots reflects this belief. He's also pointed to how the SEC gets numerous bids in other sports like basketball (e.g., 14 teams in March Madness), suggesting a similar recognition should apply to football.The Impact on the Big 12 and ACC (and Their Pushback):This "4-4-2-2-1" model would explicitly place the Big 12 and ACC in a subordinate position regarding CFP access. They would receive half the guaranteed bids of the SEC and Big Ten.Limited Access: Even if the Big 12 has a strong year with three or four highly competitive teams, only two would be guaranteed spots. The remaining teams would have to fight for very limited at-large bids, often against other highly-ranked SEC/Big Ten teams that didn't win their conference but still have top-tier resumes.Perceived "Second Class" Status: This structural disadvantage would reinforce a "second-tier" perception for the Big 12 and ACC within the Power Four, potentially impacting recruiting, media narratives, and long-term financial health."Earn it on the Field": Both Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark and ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips have vehemently opposed this model. Yormark, in particular, has pushed for the "5+11" model (five automatic qualifiers for the highest-ranked conference champions, 11 at-large bids), arguing that it's "fair" and promotes the idea of teams "earning it on the field" rather than receiving "gimmes" based on conference affiliation.Recent Developments and Shifting Sands:Interestingly, recent reports from the SEC's spring meetings indicate a potential shift in the SEC's stance. While the Big Ten remains bullish on the "4-4-2-2-1" model, the SEC, after discussions with its coaches (many of whom reportedly prefer the 5+11 model), is showing more openness to the "5+11" format. Some within the SEC even believe that the "5+11" model could ultimately lead to more SEC teams in the playoff in some years than the 4-AQ model, especially if the conference moves to a nine-game schedule, making their strength of schedule even more compelling for at-large bids.Regardless of the final decision, the SEC's initial push for double the automatic qualifiers of the Big 12 and ACC highlights its strategic goal: to maximize its presence and revenue in the sport's most lucrative postseason, even if it meant creating a distinct tier system within the top conferences.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

  • SQUAD: Big 12 NEEDS Expansion Merger With ACC to Stay Alive, Defeat ACC, Big 10 in NCAA Arms Race

    SQUAD: Big 12 NEEDS Expansion Merger With ACC to Stay Alive, Defeat ACC, Big 10 in NCAA Arms Race

    While there are valid concerns about the concentration of power in the SEC and Big Ten, there are also arguments to be made that their growing influence could have some positive outcomes for college football: Increased Financial Stability: The substantial media rights deals secured by the SEC and Big Ten provide unprecedented financial stability for their member institutions. This can lead to improved facilities, better resources for athletes, and increased investment in academic support. This could also lead to better player safety, with better medical care, and better equipment. Enhanced Player Welfare: The increased revenue generated by these conferences could lead to greater investment in player welfare, including improved healthcare, mental health services, and academic support. There is also the possibility of revenue sharing with the players, that would give the athletes more financial stability. Higher Level of Competition: The concentration of top talent in the SEC and Big Ten could lead to a higher overall level of competition. This could result in more exciting games and a more compelling product for fans. This will lead to a higher level of play, that will benefit the athletes. Standardization and Professionalization: The SEC and Big Ten's influence could lead to greater standardization of rules, regulations, and practices across college football. This could create a more professionalized environment, with improved officiating, better enforcement of rules, and a more consistent experience for fans. Increased National Attention: The dominance of the SEC and Big Ten could lead to increased national attention for college football, further enhancing its popularity and cultural significance. This increased attention, will lead to more revenue, which can be used to improve the sport. Potential for a More Streamlined Postseason: With the power that these two conferences hold, there is a chance that a more streamlined post season will emerge. This could lead to a better, and more exciting, playoff system. It's important to acknowledge that there are potential downsides to this concentration of power. However, it's also worth considering the potential benefits that could arise from the SEC and Big Ten's growing influence. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
