House vs. NCAA

[WreckinGT]

Like the ACC or any of the other conferences, the NCAA is a separate legal entity. It sponsors several tournaments and collects the proceeds of those tournaments. They have the money before the schools get it, so if the TV and ad revenue are encumbered, that money will not be available to be passed on to the schools. Remember, these are invitational tournaments. Schools participate voluntarily. Basketball is a very different animal in the NIL stuff than football.

You guys are saying the same thing. The NCAA will pay the penalty but ultimately, the schools themselves will pay. The ACC earned an estimated $34 million in payouts from this years tournament. Likely, those payouts will not happen for a while or will be reduced. That is small potatoes though. It is estimated to cost P4 schools 2 million a year. Not the end of the world. The proposed revenue sharing, and scholarship models which can cost teams closer to $30 million a year is a much bigger burden.

Guys, all he’s saying is the NCAA gets its money from the dues and labors of the member universities. Any penalties come from moneys largely distributable to the universities. The various AAs will pay indirectly.
