ESPN: Some schools may take full tv share but won’t spend full 20 mil player salary max

But even the potential settlement comes with big questions, including how revenue sharing will work in conjunction with Title IX, whether the NCAA can leverage a settlement into more cooperation (and protection from future lawsuits) from Congress and whether all schools will be required to spend -- or be capped at -- a specific amount. Multiple administrators who spoke with ESPN on the issue voiced concerns that some schools will receive an equal share of the league's television revenue but spend far below the $20 million maximum on players.
Lets say Vandy continues to collect 60+ mil a year in tv revenue (10x their actual value) but continues to invest far less than other conference members into athletics. All 15 other members spend their full salary cap but Vandy refuses to pay football players due to budget or equity concerns. Would that get them kicked out? At some point there will be elite, large endowment universities who find the pay for play model in such conflict with their overall academic mission that they go in another direction than the top 50 or so football schools.

I thought the schools couldn’t pay players? Why would tv shares go to players?
Oh that’s right the revenue goes into facilities, weight rooms, living conditions, food and travel.
How about the money gained from the clicks in the article goes to the staff instead of the corporation.

They should be kicked out. College football made the decision a long time ago to go professional with the TV contracts. You cant go half in. Vandy has different goals. They should be out

They likely soon will if this lawsuit settlement becomes a reality.

Bud Selig got rich screwing over Milwaukee fans by keeping the money and he gets to be in charge of Baseball forever.

Agree. The good ole days are gone and the game is unfortunately moving forward into a semi-pro 2 conference league of the best programs. It is nonsensical that a bottom feeder program like Vandy or Northwestern should get a free ride because they lucked into joining the two leagues left standing a century ago. At some point the past can’t give you a perpetual free ride with no obligation to pull your own weight in the present.

Franklin proved vandy can be competitive in football, their basketball was good and baseball has won championships. It’s all gone to crap with baseball barely hanging on. What the heck happened? Do they just not care anymore?
If they have vacated the notion of trying then maybe they should pursue other endeavors elsewhere. I don’t believe in kicking anyone out but they need to be persuaded to increase their efforts.

I heard we need Vanderbilt’s private emails to evade FOIA.
How true was that?

Not at all. Vanderbilt's "emails" have nothing to do with your FOIAs. Get smarter.

This rumor has been around forever, but I have yet to see a legitimate source report it. The new way conferences evade foia is by having university administrators log on to private internal conference chat rooms to communicate critical conference issues. The SEC is still a private organization, even if all its members are public with Vandy out.
If Alabama’s president sends an email to Vandy’s president, the Birmingham News can FOIA that all day even though Vandy is private. Vandy being private isn’t protecting anyone else.

Freedom of Information Act only applies to public institutions and it applies even if the public institution is involved with a "private organization".
Vanderbilt is not a public institution.
Vanderbilt is not leaving the SEC unless they want to.
Period.

The whole Vandy argument that they have some kind of immunity as a private school that somehow shrouds SEC communications is pure bullshite.

Vandy should consider going D3 or just eliminate athletics

Temple says hi. And the Big East kicked them out for failing to invest in athletics long before the era where 60 million paychecks were at stake.
Vandy costs the SEC far more than the 60 million we pay them with nothing in return. All 8 Vandy conference games ESPN needs to show are viewed by them as dead weight on the overall tv package. Make those 8 games FSU instead of Vandy and the bidding goes a lot higher in the next tv contract.
Very soon, as the revenue battles continue and become even more of a necessity with pay for play, cutting dead weight will be much more profitable than trying to add new revenue to further dilute the Vandy’s.

Wait I forgot about this part. ESPN literally holds the contract for revenue with the SEC and they’re writing articles about the money?
Liberal fricks. I have to hand it to them

Appreciate Vande's commitment to academics. But they should be booted from SEC as they arent even trying in football. They havent earned crap for the TV revenue. Who turns on TV to watch Vande other than maybe baseball?
