This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You’re not doing the math right. At all by airborneirish

Take top line and divide by 85. That is around $1 million. It’s not even close to “”each player earning million(s)”. You guys need to take a step back and do some honest accounting. Just because the coaches are extracting a ridiculous sum from the school does not mean the players are generating millions each.

There’s also the reality that ND can field a JV team and still generate revenue. To that end the reality is the players ought to be entitled to a share of the incremental revenue they generate. And I reality NIL ought to efficiently accomplish that.

If we can get on the same page regarding value created, the cost to create it, etc we can get on the same page for the value each player ought to fairly capture. As is the ideas thrown out here are risible.
