Fraud coaches: What is the percentage of sharing your school’s revenues that you should go to men’s basketball?

Once again, CBS SPORTS offers an annual Single Sergeant Series, which highlights topics and relevant issues in men’s basketball. Gary Barish and Matt Norlander have surveyed nearly 100 coaches in recent weeks about a variety of topics. The trainers talked about the background and were presented to not disclose his identity to provide unhelpful opinions. This is the second batch in our 2025 survey.

He spoke to any sports director sitting these days, and most of them will tell you that among the most difficult decisions they had to make last year is how to divide up to $ 20.5 million, their departments are now allowed to participate annually with athletes.

How much should he go to men’s basketball?

It is a question that contains a lot of answers – answers to a large extent whether schools have or do no You have a FBS Football and/or how much a specific school is interested in solid wood. In other words, each institution spends with the FBS Football Program, the largest part of its money on football, in part due to the number of players needed to establish a team, partly because football is the economic power of leadership in most universities. But faults are very different in schools without FBS football because of schools without FBS Football basketball programs, in some cases, get 95 % of the money.

(This is why men’s basketball programs in the East Big Big and Atlantic 10 currently have more money in their budgets from some SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC programs for men, like I detailed in a story earlier this summer about VCU, which surpasses multiple conference programs in order to get the best 70.))

With all this in mind, Norland and I decided to ask approximately 100 degrees to men’s basketball. The following question:

What is the percentage of your school revenue cover that should go to men’s basketball?

Answers from coaches in schools with FBS football programs

Between 25 % and 30 %	56 %
Between 15 % to 20 %	35 %
Between 30 % and 40 %	9 %

Answers from coaches in school without FBS football programs

Between 90 % and 95 %	29 %
Between 70 % and 80 %	27 %
Between 50 % and 60 %	19 %
Between 30 % and 40 %	15 %
Between 20 % and 25 %	10 %

It was reported that emerged

Answers from coaches in schools with FBS football programs:

• “This is difficult because I think that depends on the university you are in. For example, Duke and Kentuccy will distribute basketball/football programs differently from Clemson and Alabama.”
• “Figure Football must have 70 %. Men’s basketball, 25 %. I give another 5 % basketball to women. I don’t give any money to anyone else. Volleyball, hockey, and nothing of them.”
• “Twenty -five percent in the four -power level. Exceptions for blue soccer schools, which are likely to reduce basketball to 15 % to 20 % there.”
• “The minimum of 20 percent … I think it is a matter of time before 100 % of the revenue sharing goes to football and basketball for men. The ads only need to be covered. They want to put their money in sport that already generates revenues.”
• “I think all of this should go to men’s basketball – but that’s because I am realistically. I realized, I asked for 35 % and gave me an advertisement of 30 %. So I’m good. I think I get more than most of my conference.”

Answers from coaches in schools without FBS football programs:

• “I am in a school without football, without any other income -running sport. We will not spend near $ 20.5 million as a section, but [we] Do you have a very healthy revenue share for our level. So, however, 95 %. “
• “I am 90 % and I think my advertisement would agree. It was funny to see some of these other coaches complaining of schools without big football. It should have been in some of our meetings in the last four. Well, there have been 75 years old, and now this perception that we have a slight advantage?
• “Because we do not play at the higher level of Di in football, men’s basketball should get 90 % of them. Only the revenue driver in the department.”
• “[We have] More capabilities [for a] Return for investing for every dollar in men’s basketball investor [in our mid-major league] From any other sport. “
• “Putting myself in advertising shoes, by not having football, I think 70 % of the post should go to men’s basketball. [our] Feeling university. “

Ready -made meals

As noted earlier, the answers to our question were very different depending on the place where the coach is presented to the business, and this is another reason for this new group of rules (unclear) that the settlement of the house enjoyed to university athletics and nothing close to solving the problems that some described.

The rules will be changed at the end again.

Meanwhile, we have some coaches who are fighting with sports managers to obtain the largest percentage of revenue sharing that they can get, and some coaches with great budgets are largely from other coaches in the same league, and some coaches in some leagues are still not an idea of ​​anything in Campuss magazine.

It is banana.

This is why I liked the next quote we got from one coach: “Why don’t you make it mandatory for every school [an] He asked football equal to $ 15 million in that specified sport? Men’s basketball is equal to $ 4 million. Currently, the coaches are fighting their ads for more money. Eliminate this from the equation. It may bring more stability and stadium level. “

To clarify this, I will be forever against any salary hat, or restrictions on what university athletes can do, unless it is collectively negotiated with university athletes. I will never join this point. But as long as we have a maximum salary in college sports, it makes it road More logical, as the coach above suggested, for every individual sport to have its own salary ceiling.

What should the numbers be?

Again, this must be determined by negotiation and then put it in CBA legally binding characterized by a confrontation of violators so that Cleibers does not think about breaking it. However, whatever the numbers, the men’s basketball number should be the same for everyone so that Kentucky’s Mark Pope, OKLAHOMA’s Porter Moser has the same amount that he spends on a list on each other – but also like Mike’s Mike, Micker’s Mike’s Mike’s Mike and Penna’s Mike. A young man, and so on.

Until we get there, it will be just chaos and confusion, and yes, high risk cheating- As I explained in the column last week. Either way, we are definitely not there yet. Therefore, men’s basketball coaches from the coast to the coast negotiate with their athletes to obtain the largest percentage of revenue sharing funds in their school that they can get so that they can negotiate with agents to try to build the best lists they can build. Some coaches have $ 7 million. Others have $ 3. Some scratch. It is a problematic system that forces schools to identify the large sports they want to raise at the expense of others.

Many coaches do not like it.

We learned it here too.

And steadfast, you will hear a lot about the topic next spring when the transport portal and some coaches in the same high league championships are opened to follow the same players with different budgets, which leaves them a decision on whether they are playing according to the rules as they understand them and get a way to get the money that you should know, by any necessary means.
