Maybe some others can help explain this. An article stated that they expect: "that the proposed arrangement will have a future impact of at least $20 million a year on the budgets of athletics departments that pay their athletes the maximum combined total that would be allowed under a cap that would be established, and then increase over time. "
So I think that means all athletes (male and female) for various sports. So does a cap even the playing field as all schools have the same limits (like NFL) or is the cap so high as only large schools could raise a $20M annual budget?? And can an athlete get NIL funds also?? And if so, how would Pitt do if this happens as expected?
