BASKETBALL WAC Opponents for '24 season

M
Conference matchups are a great idea, but would be so much better embraced if they had a degree of geographic commonality. While CUSA has a wide range of teams geographically locating a conference that has a Mid-American or Mid-South appeal would make more sense, & would certainly increase greater fan appeal.
A program such as this would have far more appeal with conferences such as the Sun Belt, MAC, Missouri Valley, or even the OVC for example. Still not totally poo-pooing this contract with the WAC. As the saying goes, you have to break an egg to make an omelet. Hopefully over the next couple of years other better geographically alligned conferences will be more open to signing a contract with CUSA.

G5 Playoff

The settlement revolves around 3 cases. House, which goes back to 2016 for 15k athletes. Hubbard which includes all athletes since April 2019. Carter includes all D1 athletes since December 2023 till case ruling/settlement, as well as all Power 5 basketball and soccer players since December 2019. So easily close to 20k players.

I haven't seen a breakdown per athlete. One would assume attorneys would take 20% minimum. Then the plaintiffs that brought the case would get the lion's share.

There are still so may questions as it wouldn't stop future suits unless they get anti-trust protection from Congress. They want this settled because the judge over the House case is the one that ruled in favor of Alston and started this. So the NCAA is likely to lose.

And the suits are only brought against P5 schools. Will G5 have to do the backpay too? They mention all D1. So FCS? Horizon League? WCC? Etc?
Of course we already do Alston payments and will 1000% opt out of the future payments.

When they say this will change the landscape they aren't kidding at all.

If they say all D1, then it would have to include FCS football since its classified as D1, and all other sports are D1 at those institutions, or they will have future suits since they are able to get NIL. I wonder is a D2 athlete will sue since they're scholarship athletes as well.

so what does that breakdown look like 500 or 600 and athlete? They will have to pay all divisions especially since they control the championships at all divisions or you will have more lawsuits coming.
