From that article, there are already talks to merge scheduling and NIL. Not the model we discussed in the scheduling thread but a tournament where every participant gets $1 million from tournament proceeds. Mentions some of the big name teams I brought up.
“Another potential revenue source is a new nonconference tournament concept where proceeds from media rights, ticket sales and sponsorships go directly to the NIL collectives of the participating teams.
Details have started leaking out for the Las Vegas event: eight teams (possibly growing to 16 in future years), $1 million per team for participating, an additional $1 million to the champions.
Smith confirmed SDSU and MESA are part of discussions for the inaugural tournament next season — if it happens. Other schools mentioned include Duke, Kansas, Alabama, Oregon and Syracuse.“
Discussion of inflection points and not being left behind. However bc of MTT rules it prob cannot happen immediately until big draw teams have the availability to play in it.
We need to get on this asap and figure out the UR plan.
