Football has 17 mil to use from rev share, doesn't really need NIL deals to pay most of their studs. Basketball will need the NIL to cover most of the money, which is why JMI is a huge obstacle.
No school in the country has ever released their revshare numbers. Where do you get your specific number from? Also if you think NIL doesn’t matter to football players you’re clueless. Every school has the exact same revshare cap, if you don’t have NIL, you’re not competing with top programs for top players.

Every school has 22 million to divvy out, and 99%, especially in the SEC, are going to give around 80-85% of that to football. Of course NIL matters to football, but not nearly at the same level it does to basketball because of the rev share.

Still not making sense, UK and let’s say Ohio State have the same rev share salary cap. We have been going against them for football recruits but according to to you our NIL is bad but it doesn’t matter because of rev share? The rev share that’s the same? DeAndre Moore is about to pick us over a bunch of elite programs with the same rev share and NIL plays no role? NIL absolutely matters in football, it always has and it always will. If our NIL was as bad as you claim, we wouldn’t be signing elite recruits in football.

I've post this same thing a few times. Jmi people just ignore and say it's apples to apples when comparing FB and bb recruiting....smh
So football can recruit because football players don’t have the same “potential of individual name image and likeness”? Makes sense… if you’re not into critical thinking, don’t ask questions, and don’t require actual information to form your opinion.

So basketball players have more potential but can’t do NIL deals, or what specifically is the difference?

Are you willing to give up an hour to really learn, or do you just want to slam dunk in Pope’s face? If you want to learn I’ll hook you up with resources, but I find 90% of these conversations end up the same way. Your choice.

I'm really not sure what is so hard about this. Let's say a player is worth around 4 million in "payment" of any kind. Football has an automatic 17ish million to pay. While basketball have around 4 million total. We can straight up pay probably one big star in basketball with just rev share money, after that the rest in basketball is going to have to be negotiated through NIL deals with JMI in charge of that.

What does JMI have to do with 3rd party deals? JMI has no ownership over the players and they’re free to sign any deals they want.
JMI essentially owns the exclusive rights to a player's NIL if they sign with UK. If they want a deal, it has to be an approved partnership JMI already has on board or okays. Think Paul Miller Ford, Clark's Pump n Shop, Donatos.

This is what Mitch thought was going to happen. And the SCORE act was shelved, and the NCAA is afraid so they don’t enforce the rules. Everyone else is just doing whatever they want while Mitch wants to follow rules that don’t exist.

What he’s really doing imo is he’s using that as an excuse to cover for how horribly he’s managed this and how awful he missed. Pretend it’s because they’re all cheating, when really you wanted the extra cash and sold out the programs to do it in the first place. Then stand behind said rules when it’s over and gaslight everyone.
^^^This^^^
Mitch put all his eggs into the SCORE Act basket and when Congress tabled the legislation he pivoted to calling outside collectives cheating. He jumped the gun trying to be ahead of the curve and got played.

Why on earth would you sign a deal until 2040 without first getting a feel for operating success? It's no different than huge buyouts and asinine extensions for basic success. They're all egregious contracts with him as the common denominator.

He’s a fool. That’s why, he doesn’t belong as the head of the AD. It’s like all these stupid CEO’s who fail upwards. They destroy a company, get paid a massive buyout and then get hired to another one and do the same thing again.
