A $2.75 Billion Dollar Settlement Will Not Bring Down the College Sports House

Stewart Mandel is one of the best and most impactful college sports journalists. As Stewart so advises, every college sports fan needs to take a deep breath. The House settlement will not incent college sports fans to tune out. 

 

In 2021 when the NCAA, at the point of a gun, allowed college athletes to market their Name, Image, and Likeness, viewership of college sports did not drop off. Instead, viewership of money-making football and basketball increased as did viewership of Women's sports. College athletes earning their market value did not destroy fan interest.

A day few in college sports would have deemed imaginable even three years ago, much less 30, has (almost) arrived. But we'll keep watching.

 

This article has been posted on another thread but in light of the changes coming from the House settlement, this NY Times article IMO deserves a thread of its own.

 

Puddles will continue to fly high. The viewership after the B1G move will be B1Gger than before.

    The B1G and the SEC win again.

    A landmark settlement will provide billions in pay to college athletes. But because this is college sports, nothing will be easy.

    Greg Sankey weighs in on the post-House settlement future of college sports.

    athletic-icon-192x192.png Emerson: What Greg Sankey didn't say may be as important as what he did

    WWW.NYTIMES.COM
    Which side of Sankey will win out? That could help determine what's next for college sports.

     

    Tony Petitti? I'm hoping the B1G commissioner will not sit back; he will be as upfront as Sankey and be prepared to skewer the SEC's CFB 8-game conference schedule and too many playoff sites in Dixie and not in the West and the Midwest. 

     

    Jim Delany was far from a shrinking violet. The accommodation between the Power 2 is nice so long as Petitti doesn't take a back seat.

    But a settlement, if approved by the court, will leave many unanswered questions.
