As noted by nctigs recently, basketball programs at other schools will get 20%. Brad said that this will make things very difficult for our program, as that represents a significant funding deficit.

I understand that football is our cash cow, our most popular sport, and our most important sport. But we can't claim to want to be a consistently good basketball program and then do stuff like this.

Super frustrating!

But I’m not okay with it being more of a second fiddle than it needs to be.

If other schools who also care a lot about football are devoting 15-20% of revenue share to basketball, why can’t we? Why are we only at 11%?

From what I can tell Clemson basketball usually breaks even in revenue generated vs expenses while softball makes around 50K. So if we give more money to the basketball program we will be losing money.

During its first season of competition, Clemson gymnastics generated $319,106 in ticket sales revenue (second among women’s teams, trailing only softball). Gymnastics also accounted for the most “gameday” revenue (game programs, novelties, parking and concessions) of any of the 12 women’s teams, generating $52,697.

Pretty sure I saw Baseball will get 3% and Softball will share another 3% with other sports. Showed softball players getting $3500-ish each. Women's bball was not included in the 3%, I think they .5-1%.

MBB was averaging the most $$ per player at around $150k avg. Football players were avg $85k but obviously some players will get more than others.

Pretty sure these are close to the numbers I saw week or so ago.

Do you happen to have a link to these numbers. This sounds reasonable based on what Neff has said. I know everyone has their favorite sports but imo, I think some are jumping the gun with their emotions.

First, we don't know what sports other teams have. Maybe they don't have soccer 🤔 . Think about it if we didn't have soccer? We could probably do the 20% to bball. Most DON'T have lacrosse.

I'm not sure what people expect Neff to do. We're taking a different approach than some other schools. We're taking about 3 million that will go towards helping All of the sports. So that leaves 18 mil.

Also, we're taking some of the money from the leftover 18 million and giving most every sport, not f&track or rowing (they carry about 80 athletes) and giving full scholarships. That's a big deal and it sends the right message... Clemson cares about academics. Let's wait and see what these other schools do.

Obviously nctigs and judge would get butthurt thinking bball is getting shafted. But as Neff said, he's basing this off what sports generate money. I'm positive he's NOT taking money away from bball. Everyone needs to remember, some of the athletes will still get nil. So I can't think of a more fair way to distribute it than what we're doing.

I'm sure T_I_P would love more to go to tennis. Unfortunately, you can't do it that way. So there will likely be protests and lawsuits from other schools... but I doubt any will be from Clemson.

Expenses: The team's expenses were significantly higher, totaling $11.7 million.
Net Loss: The difference between revenue and expenses resulted in a net loss of approximately $727,000.
Overall Athletics: While the men's basketball program experienced a loss, the entire Clemson athletic program saw a net profit of $12 million. This was largely driven by the football program, which generated $76.8 million in revenue against $66.7 million in expenses, resulting in a profit of $10.1 million.

I would rather be great at one sport (football) than good at a number of sports. If consolidating revenue to focus on football gets us back to greatness, which with recent changes made by CDS seems very likely, then I think it’s the right way to go.

I’d love to see basketball do well and make deep runs, but not at the expense of the football program. Its tricky with title 9 because of the offsets to the male sports, so it’s not like we can just take money from softball or field hockey to raise the % share for basketball

Here is info on what Aunurn is doing. Also googled Alabama and other SEC and other power schools. Most are doing the 15 percent-

"After the reduction, each SEC institution has $18 million in revenue to share with its student-athletes. Schools may allocate their $18 million to sports as it sees fit. In the settlement, back-pay damages are apportioned 75 percent to football, 15 percent to men's basketball and 10 percent to other sports. While Auburn has not publicly announced how it will apportion its $18 million, it appears Auburn will mimic the settlement model like most SEC schools"

This makes a lot of sense, or may even be a little high. There were 17 players on our basketball roster this year. There will be 105(?) players on the football roster. You don’t have to be a stellar mathematician to see that, just because of the number of players and coaches on each team, the football program should get somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 times what the basketball program gets. I know that sound logic like this doesn’t fit in your agenda, but it makes sense. Actually, basketball may be getting more than its fair share. Now stop whining.

More production should equate to more money. We are no where close to a blue blood 20 percent type basketball program. If we were a blue blood not so sure Brownell would be running the program. Not knocking him but he is no blue blood coach.

Jury is still out on Bakich imo. I like the guy but can’t lose regionals on your home field. Not once but twice consecutively. And move the bull pen. That is the stupidest idea and I’m guessing it was his. Turned into an embarrassment on national tv with drunk college kids berating the pitchers like they were 5 years old. Would have expected that if I was watching a SC game.

For example, is Duke going to be able to fully fund the how many millions that is allowed to be allocated? In other words, is Duke basketball getting 20% of a smaller number?


On TOS for Clemson it indicated 11 percent is $2 million, 15 percent is about $2.7 million. 20 percent for big-time basketball programs is probably around $3.2-3.5 million. Everyone also will have more NIL coming in.

A. I'm not trusting anyone's estimates for how much other schools are allocating to each sport. We're on 8 days into the new operating model; there's no way anyone knows exactly what each school is allocating. Other than UK and Vandy there's no way any SEC school is overindexing into basketball at the expense of football roster management

B. Even if your assertions are true I'm good with it. Football is more important; period, end of story, full stop.

Is that not basically the same percentage percentage player? Much smaller roster

Yes, good point.
It comes out about the same especially when you look at 15 percent. Again you can make up that difference with NIL. I think a lot of coaches still questioning how this is going to work when it got crazy with just NIL. There will still be cheating more because everything now would have to go through clearing house.

11% is too much! Clemson proved they werent serious about basketball when they extended ole Brad again, just give them 5% and accept medicocrity and postseason failures that are his MO over a 16 year stay.

If you base allocation on roster size it's proportional between football(105) and basketball(15). As I recall, Clemson was allocating based on revenue... ~85% football, 11% men's basketball, 4% all other sports. This was, at least partially, due to possible legal challenges.

Just a thought. Give softball and baseball some of the basketball money. Both sports have proven to be much more successful than basketball. Where will basketball be in 10 years? According to many basketball needs more money to be successful. Well if it's not going to have enough why bother to waste money on it? Make a business decision and let's win a bunch of championships in baseball and softball.

This want go over well.. Lol.

Judge sadly a majority of our fans just "don't get it" that basketball is important nationwide. Just like Duke and UNC fans (despite Coach Belichick) don't get the importance of football.I like ALL of our sports but the fact is baseball and softball are NOT on the level of college basketball !! I'm not sure it will ever change at Clemson sad to say.

Here are the rev share allocations as confirmed by John Blau, Larry Williams in published interviews/articles. Neff has already confirmed the 150 new scholarships exceed the $2.5M cap on scholarships that must be subtracted from the rev share cap per the House Settlement:
$20.5M - 2.5M = $18M rev share baseline cash available
Football gets 86% —> $15.5M
Basketball get 11% —> $2M
Everyone else gets 3% remaining rev share —> $500K

If Clemson’s 110 Society (now being rolled into IPTAY) gets aggressive in fund raising, there are creative ways to structure institutional NIL in a way that Brownell can take advantage of his Courtside Club donors to pass the NIL Go clearinghouse. I expect they will get that figured out by next school year. This year I think the available NIL was built into front loaded deals to avoid the start of the new NIL rules on July 1st.

I could see 13-15 being somewhat justified...but 20 is throwing away good $...if it we me i would start at 13 for him and then have a cap of 15 depending on a final four appearance...just my 3 cents

Folks really haven’t been informed about how the 150 new scholarships are impacting the available rev share cash funds. It will interesting to see if they adjust that in future years. Does football need to offer scholarships beyond 85. Does softball and baseball really benefit in recruiting by providing full scholarships for the entire roster? So far baseball doesn’t seem to be finding that working so well for portal players.

In case you aren’t familiar with the scholarship rev share impact, here’s the NCAA Q&A for the House Settlement that clarifies (see pg 20):

Nor do I think we should.

But 15% seems reasonable when schools like Alabama and Auburn are doing it.

I’ll be curious to see how many other schools who claim to care about basketball are only devoting 11% to it.

This is yet another example of how subpar support for basketball at Clemson has the potential to drive the narrative that we simply don’t care much about it. This hurts recruiting, media coverage, etc.

Sticking with Brad Brownell for nearly two decades tells you everything you need to know about how much a priority basketball is. Why are you complaining now? This is the bed you’ve spent that time begging for.

I love Clemson Basketball, like all other Tiger sports, but Brad, whom I like, seems to be using the 11% excuse as another excuse why we do not compete better at the national level. I think I would have kept my mouth shut and be thankful that although they lost money, they were getting the second largest cut.

Good time to become familiar with Valid Business Purpose. IPTAY acting as the NIL collective (Neff says 110 Society is rolling into IPTAY) will struggle to write NIL contracts like was done for football and basketball before the NIL Clearinghouse. If these rules are followed, I can understand why Brownell is concerned he’s basically working with $2M available moving forward.

Brad doesn’t need excuses.

But he does need a university and fan base that give a crap and want to provide reasonable revenue share for basketball.

A paltry 11% isn’t it, no matter how many football first fans here try to believe that it is.
