Sorry not available to answer in too much detail because there is so much

uncertainty and I am tied up some today. Saw your question earlier. What @2hhoop3 is saying is true relative to scholarships counting as part of the revenue sharing. Here is a little more on that from a post I made the other day when @Chris Coleman was asking why scholarships were being increased and was using baseball as an example. Some of what you are asking is in this post and should help a little: "If I could answer your question as to why scholarships are increasing. The whole reasoning behind this is to "unlock" the restrictions needed to help with the revenue sharing "settlement." Schools are allowed to count additional scholarships as part of the revenue settlement amount. I believe it is in the neighborhood of $2-$3M (of the ~$22M). So, all of these scholarships (of which your math illustration is not coincidental ~$2.5-$3M for 63 scholarships) will come close to adding up to the dollar figure allowed as part of the revenue. But, unless the NCAA lifted the restriction on scholarship numbers, the additional scholarship dollars would NOT have been allowed to count as part of the revenue sharing. So, using your baseball example, the scholarship additions would be their revenue sharing and there would not necessarily be a need to share any more with baseball (in theory). There is obviously a cap on the amount that can be used for scholarships because a good portion/majority of the revenue is going to be allocated to football and basketball and those folks are already on full scholarship. So their revenue enhancements would have to come from sources not tied to scholarships. I do realize the adding of 20 football scholarships is now available, but that is not going to move the needle on revenue needed for football. In fact, if I am any school, I would think long and hard about adding football scholarships so I don't dilute the "revenue pie" with more players. That doesn't really make sense as a school can't exceed the CAP that has been installed. Some of the revenue "decision making" is still yet to be determined, as many are going to have to guess/assume risk as to the Title IX ramifications of this. If anyone is curious, the revenue sharing is based on including what a school typically spends on scholarships already. Generally, most schools spend around $15-$16M on scholarships. The additional $22M from the settlement brings the total revenue sharing to $37-$38M per school. That is considered half (like the pro model of 50% revenue sharing) of what the typical Power 4 school brings in from ticket revenue/sponsor revenue/conference payout. Crazy times. Thank goodness the additional revenue is also coming from the new CFP payouts also. I still expect some significant changes within our athletic department (relative to expenses)." Me again. That should give you some background. Most of the Power 4 schools will want the majority of revenue going to football for obvious reasons. Don't think we have made any final decisions yet as to how we will proceed just yet.

Eliminate all non revenue sports. Make them club sports instead….

Now that’s what I call blowing the whole thing up and starting all over!
