I find these articles interesting since they tell the other side of sports we usually don't see.
The first is about internal competition inside schools for a part of the revenue sharing money:
The brewing rev-share battle that will upend college basketball: 'Why am I going to lose another $2 million?'
What I find interesting is that schools are using how much more money they give a particular sport to attract coaches.
The second article is even more fascinating:
Is college football undervalued? America's second-most popular game still leaving billions on the table
Some of the things i got from the article are:
(1) Interesting quote summing up the whole situation:
In the end, I think the really big money of the venture capitalists wins out.
(2) Mentioned again the the House settlement may not be the end of lawsuits, since it will put a cap on what athletes will make.
(3) Because of current media deals, it seems that not much will change until 2030, but it seems there are talks ongoing and it seems those will get louder in about three years.

I have always said that CFB is in the mess it is in because of greed of the university administrators, the College Bowl administrators and sponsors taking advantage of the athletes.
