A couple of these seem to contradict each other. I have seen the $20.5M plenty of times but the 22% I don't recall. So does that  Is it the smaller of the two, i.e.,  22% up to $20.5M?  I've always seen the $20.5M as a cap, this says as a start. I'm guessing that just means for the first year.

Also, they say 22% but also 50%. I'm confused. Maybe that 50% includes the scholarships and the possibility of adding more scholarships to sports where there were low caps?

  • The deal also creates a new system where colleges that choose to participate can share up to 22% of their revenue from things like TV deals, ticket sales, and sponsorships with their athletes. Experts think this could start at about $20.5 million per year for each school.
  • Overall, it's expected that colleges will share about 50% of their sports revenue with athletes. This is similar to how professional sports leagues share money with their players.

Wouldn't worry too much about the language until the judge actually issues an opinion.  That link is just one analysis.  Once a ruling is handed down, there will be enough opinions written to occupy our reading time until bball season starts.
