NIL Follies --check out what VCU is doing

[HallLine69]

That's quite a minimum wage structure..

Doubtful that's correct, VCU has said they will spend $4 - $5 million on all athletics for P4P, not just men's basketball.

 

[Piratz]

That’s a misleading average number using the $5M high end averaged to 13 only for men’s basketball.

The article indicates it’s being used to pay players in the athletic deportment in general, plus requires the department to find revenue streams.

Given all the financial demands made on the state budgets to deal with its needs from maintaining its infrastructure to funding for its social programs I can’t help but wonder why there hasn’t been a taxpayer backlash .

I get it..don’t disagree

But this will all eventually end in revenue sharing..which will lead to collective bargaining..which if you want to bargain you’re going to have to accept rules

And the rules (albeit idk how many) will come back

What does that mean for SHU…zero clue

What is our average payout? Guestimate.....?

 

[Piratz]

I’m going to with $140k for men’s basketball.
