the brand and the labor. The question is obviously what a fair split would be.

Notre Dame takes in 77 million in profit. It certainly does not cost ND 85k for 85 athletes, and their costs for food/housing/clothes/etc. are certainly nowhere near what airborneirish would lead people to believe. So is it a fair distribution? Most people seem to agree that it's not, especially for the top end performers. The fact that the schools admit that they're taking from the money making sport to pay for the non revenue sports would seem to indicate that it's not equitable; the football and basketball players derive no benefit from non revenue sports.
