The main two questions the article addresses are "If schools are now allowed to spend $20 million in revenue-sharing funds across all sports, how much of that will they give to basketball? And how much of an advantage does that give a basketball-focused conference like the Big East?" Nate Oats and Todd Golden are on record shaking in his boots over it, though I'm not sure why. The Big East probably has to do much more fundraising with its donors to get to that number compared to leagues with bigger media rights deals. Plus, it sounds like the best thing to do, for schools that can afford it (which I'd assume Alabama and Florida certainly can), might be to not bring the NIL collective in-house so that you can circumvent the cap.
