House Settlement will give FB players 75% of damages

[Rags to Roses]

The House settlement is on track to disperse 75% of TV revenue in back damages to football, @On3sports has learned."At that point you have a federal judge saying, 'This is a fair way to distribute your money.'"

Full allocation of damages:
75% Football
15% Men’s basketball
5% Women’s basketball
5% Remaining athletes

> I think it is pretty clear that, without Title IX, this is how many colleges would split up their direct compensation. We'll see how this plays out in the courts.

Good stuff, thanks. Really interesting to see where the the rev share split breaks. The $ IU has to pay players is going to increase 3-5x depending on the split. What a huge change in college fball.

As a side note, in terms of paying the settlement, that's going to be from the NCAA sort of garnishing NCAA bball tourney media rights distributions, plus some direct payments from the conferences. It's hard to tell, but it doesn't look to be an issue for IU and similar big schools -- a few million $ per year.
