The NIL Clearinghouse has approved $87.5 million in NIL payments and has declined $10 million in NIL payments. So it appears as though both revenue sharing and NIL will be working side by side.

The $87.5 million approved is on 12,000 in deals (~$7,000/deal) and the $10 million declined is on 394 deals (~$25,000/deal). So it looks like smaller deals are more likely to be approved.

This will go well

The rich get richer.
Where OSU gets the most and the rest get less - it’s the exact opposite of having some kind of reasonable salary cap type of rule to ensure there remains a level of competitiveness.
Hopefully we’re in the top 1/3, but unless there are other details we are not aware of, it’s exactly the kind of deal that should not be allowed in college sports.
I think USC is against it because they are not in the top tier, and as much as I hate to say it, Michigan is against it because they are thinking about the best interests of the game - and they don’t need a payday loan like everyone else apparently does.
I’m surprised OSU and Oregon are for it, and Indiana for that matter too. I guess I see why it could help us (in the short term), as we’re leading the B1G in athletic department debt.
This is a terrible idea

The blue bloods don’t want this. It’s the poorer schools that do. And the only way to get them on board is with extra incentive (which still doesn’t seem to be enough to get Michigan & USC on board).

As much as we appreciate JW (and don’t get me wrong, I think he’s the best AD in Illini history and probably currently at least in the big ten), the fact that he’s going along with this has to be considered a not insignificant blemish on his record. It seems like we’ve paid for our recent success by putting ourselves in a financial rock and hard place, and he feels he has to support this deal as the easiest way out of it.

As I read the article, the "legacy programs" [ Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan ] would each receive as much as $190 mil while SC & Oregon's take would be $40-50 mill less. The remaining members would receive $100-110 mil. This where college athletics is. A lot of us dont like it, barely understand it. But, it's happening. That new south end zone /east Great Hall better be 
Many excellent comments. My favorite is “Not a capital deal. It’s a payday loan.”
First off Nortwe first off northwestern is the richest school in the Big ten they have the biggest endowment of all of the colleges so they don't need the money and as far as the bigger teams getting the bigger slice I don't believe in that I believe that every team should get the same cut but at this time if the Big 10 is getting the biggest revenue of all college football programs in America and they're going out and taking it payday loan I don't get that that's the epitome of greed.
If it passes, this might be our last year for season tickets. I’m just not interested in the direction things are headed. We’re selling the University’s name, colors, and traditions (institutional NIL ironically) to a Wild West pro league w/o even salary caps to keep things fair. Better to invest fan energy in the NFL than a rigged NCAA league where your team is fed to the lions.As I read the article, the "legacy programs" [ Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan ] would each receive as much as $190 mil while SC & Oregon's take would be $40-50 mill less.

Ohio State and Michigan and Penn State and Nebraska and US have humongous revenue streams and donors, Oregon as well .To be honest those loans shouldn't happen until every team is even with the TV revenue...

I missed that section too - and the media rights and other revenue payouts will be tiered too, with most of us getting 5% and OSU, Michigan and Penn State getting about 5.5%. There are some kind of tiers for high performing basketball teams (as long as football performs too).
Just seems like such a bad, bad idea and will make an uneven playing field worse. Such a shortsighted decision, and there is a reason pro sports have salary caps - this is not for the good of the sport.
Josh Whitman thinks so as well.
Or he's right and you're wrong?
Who knows what the real facts are, but if this is true, and revenues are skewed to any school over another, this is the beginning of the end of the conference. It will trigger and endless extortion of "give me what I want or I leave (and your TV ratings suffer)". JMHO.
It’s a twisted use of the term “legacy programs”, which one would expect to refer to the original Big Ten schools. “Anointed programs” is more accurate.As I read the article, the "legacy programs" [ Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan ] would each receive as much as $190 mil while SC & Oregon's take would be $40-50 mill less.

The new $2.4 billion B1G Colosseum has to generate a lot of incremental revenue for its new owners. Legacy programs are the designated winners and the other 15 are being set up as hard-playing 2nd tier losers. Our role is to make the Big Three look invincible while still playing well enough to avoid losing our own fans and their vital revenue, a tough balancing act. B1G will need some serious marketing to spin their circus as a level playing field, lest the public see it as a WWF style smack down.
No it's not. OSU already has a vastly larger budget than Illinois. OSU has 36? teams to support and Illinois has 21? Michigan 29?
Something like that.
OSU getting the same amount as Illinois puts them at a massive disadvantage.
The world is not ending, folks. It'll be OK.
