Implications from NCAA Revenue Sharing

I saw this article yesterday and thought it was extremely interesting. I couldn't care any less what happens at Iowa State, but this is a really practical example of even a high major D1 school that is feeling the effects of the new NCAA ruling. The article also mentions the expansion of the B12 as part of the problem for ISU, but nonetheless, an expected 100m+ budget shortfall over the next several years is significant.

All this just makes me appreciate even more what our current AD team is doing to keep funding and projects rolling. I do wonder, like we've discussed on here a little bit before, what will be the long term implications for teams in the Missouri Valley and the like.

How does that benefit us?

It helps for a couple reasons. Makes buy games in basketball more accessible because they're gone. Also opens up 10 more NCAA Tournament bids from the leagues that left so that we have better tournament access as a league.

It would help, but seems unlikely when you have the likes of Mercyhurst and others still moving up to D1. I think they see athletics as their only path to survival with the enrollment cliff. If they move down to D2, they might as well shut the doors (and it may come to that for many of them).
