I still don't think that individual players should get a lion's share of the reward but yes, i think the money should be shared. I'm actually kind of surprised it was ONLY $1 billion.

I think that the money should be distributed to all athletic programs including ones that nobody watched like women's field hockey or something. Of course I might be a bit biased because in hindsight, the only reason why I got a free ride with a college scholarship was because the university is forced to offer them for sports that don't make money. The same was true of a lot of other college athletes that went to school with me.

I just feel like once certain colleges are seen as the ones where the players can go to earn millions, that this is where all the talent will go and mostly I think that isn't much fun. March Madness isn't nearly as exciting as it used to be, but perhaps that is just because I am getting older and grumpier 😄
