  Message Not Read  Revenue sharing and on field performance
   Posted: 4/21/2025 1:18:56 PM 
This could have gone on football or basketball but with the upcoming football season, that seemed like the logical place to put it.

With the dawn of revenue sharing just around the corner, I'm wondering what effect directly paying players will have on fan expectations and comments. Hypothetically, let's say a player gets $10,000 and throws a couple interceptions or fumbles twice or misses a few tackles. Will the fact that they are getting paid fuel the ire of hypercritical fans and increase the vitriol we already see on social media posts? Will there be criticism that "we're not getting our money's worth" be heard far and wide? I don't have a crystal ball but I'm not real confident that this is going to be a good thing for college sports.

Your concerns make sense.

Also, a player who's suspended a game or two for violating team rules should be docked 1/12 of the revenue sharing amount for each game missed.

Alan's scenario raises an issue that has come up occasionally in pro ball. If the revenue sharing includes some sort of performance incentive (number of yards, tackles, etc.), might a coach of a cash-strapped team -- or if the player gets in the coach's doghouse -- hold a player out or pull him early in a game at the end of the season to avoid paying the incentive?

In the pros, the revenue share dictates the percentage of revenue that must go to players pay, but does not actually dictate the individual pay. That's done by contracts. Contracts often have clauses about injuries and performance.

Similar set up with the NIL, I'm sure.
