Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork provided some clarity on Thursday about what revenue sharing will look like at Ohio State after the recent House v. NCAA settlement, saying that football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball will be the first four sports that money will be allocated to.
OSU is allowed $20.5 million to distribute to its student-athletes, with $2.5 million of that going to scholarships, making $18 million available to distribute between each sport.
When asked the exact amount that will be distributed to each sport, Bjork declined to shared the numbers, but said the school has metrics that will help make those decisions. He also said he hopes that they can expand the amount of sports that get a share of the cut in the future.
Whatever the metrics are that Ohio State will use in those decisions, it seems likely that football will get most of that money, given the bigger roster size compared to other sports and the revenue it brings in for Ohio State.
Players will still be able to make NIL deals separately, which won’t count against the revenue-sharing cap
