Part of the NCAA agreement is that schools can spend up to $22 million per year on revenue sharing with student athletes. I don't expect UConn to spend that kind of money on revenue sharing, but I do expect us to spend some.
A couple sub points of this question:
1. Which non-P4 conferences and schools if any will revenue share to some extent with their players in at least some sports?
2. Will schools will drop sports?
3. Will certain sports see mass drops?
Here are my answers:
I do believe that some schools in the G5 will revenue share to some extent with their football players. We are probably talking in the 2-3 million range. I expect most of the MW, UConn, Liberty, and the top two-thirds of the AAC to revenue share in this vicinity.
I do believe that certain conferences and programs will revenue share in M/W basketball at a level consistent with that of the P4. Namely, I believe the entire Big East, Gonzaga, SDSU, Oregon State, Washington State, Memphis, and Dayton will revenue share in basketball at a level consistent with that of the P4.
I do believe there will be a lesser level of revenue sharing in basketball among the rest of the MW, AAC, A-10, and some of the WCC and MVC schools.
How will the Big East schools and others afford the extra 3-5 million per year? I expect the cutting of multiple sports at these schools and as well as the cutting of a lot of staff. It can be done.
I believe most schools outside of the power conference level will drop sports to at or near the NCAA Division 1 minimum.
Certain sports such as men's soccer could see a significant reduction in programs.
