All those millions have done so well there so far, kind of like flushing it down the toilet.

Mismanagement is different than lack of need. Give it to the men’s program.

No. They don't deserve it. 

Arguing they should take the money from the women's NIL and give to the men's program in this thread is absolutely wild. 

Some sexist s***

Hahaha. I’m not sexist at all. But the university charges more for men’s tickets than women’s, is that sexist? Bc by doing so they are saying the men are more important the women right? The men’s basketball revenue is also greater than the women’s. Especially from a NCAA tournament payout. It’s better business to support the men more to help get them back to elite status. Previous staffs mismanagement shouldn’t hinder the new staff. When other programs are willing to pay $4 mil for 1 player on the men’s side, yes it needs to go to the men’s team.

You could have fooled me.  But no it doesn't. The men couldn't possibly need more money to be successful.  

Show me someone getting paid 4 million a year...  

Just ridiculous statements by you.  Find a new a thread.

It’s literally revenue sharing.  Why wouldn’t you just calculate the percentage of revenue each sport brings in and divide the revenue-sharing pot accordingly?  Am I missing something?

Kentucky is rumored to be willing to pay that for the Purdue PG. lol. A tweet this week by a guy covering Kentucky said Kentucky's coach has said behind closed doors money will not be a limiting factor in getting Smith from Purdue. Other players are asking for $2+ mil a year. 
 

IU at $10 mil for men’s basketball will keep them in the top 10 nationally for men’s basketball NIL. 

 

guess you were fooled. Quick to judge but that’s ok. Lack of understanding the market made you jump to a false conclusion. I have nothing against female sports. I went to the girls IHSAA state basketball finals. I go to fever games. I watch USWNT soccer. But you do you. Go ahead and block me bc I’m done with this conversation.

Yeah, no issue there. I think IU is actually going to give less to football and shifting it to basketball. Then using NIL to cover any potential need. But the fanbase loves IU men’s basketball as it’s #1 sport. And the athletic department will support it as such. They aren’t taking money out of the pockets of women’s basketball to pay the men. It’s football money.

 No. I understand a market just fine. It's literally elementary. 

Talking about a rumor? Yeah I understand some are making 2 million, not 4 like you alleged to pump up your argument. 

The women's NIL should not be outside of the Top 10 in the country. Idc whether or not you're "done" with the convo. You brought it up to begin with.

If they give more to basketball than football ( ratio wise or actual numbered amount) then the IU administration should diagnosed with being dumb *$#*s. The amount of money that football could bring destroys anything basketball could bring in.

Football will get the most. Then men’s basketball. But I believe the athletic department is going to double the % to men’s basketball in comparison to the Big Ten average. Women’s sports will still get money.
