Would love to see the new NCAA football game get made.

But would love to see players get more than half of one percent of the revenue.

A group licensing deal, with a lower fee than the previous settlement and without royalties, is a garbage deal.

@TI8__ @gellocup177 NCAA rep behind me was not pleased lol

[Sam C. Ehrlich @samcehrlich]

Another athlete informal objection has been filed to the House v. NCAA docket, this time by former Texas A&M football player Kwame Etwi.

Etwi is objecting to the way that BNIL damages are to be calculated under the settlement proposal's terms.

Really happy to have been a part of this story. This and the embedded video documentary are among the best you'll see on the subject: https://t.co/YpsbimmZm3

A few months back we started our Alumni Member of the Month series on our CFBPA YouTube channel. Here's the most recent one with @TremayneAnchrum who is also a member of our Alumni Member Leadership Committee: https://t.co/Cd8lUlrHpJ

@hunterwright @kellygramlich @EricMacLain @CFBPAOfficial @InglesAdvantage Rev share is coming! That's what the recent settlements are about. Collectives will continue to exist, but w/ rev share will likely no longer be the main source of athlete income.

[Jason Stahl @JasonStahl__]

As revenue sharing with college football players begins to be solved this summer, let's immediately turn to policing and stopping the other problems of college football. Only independent players associations can truly eradicate problems like this: https://t.co/J26k8bBQEZ

Rep. Lori Trahan weighs in with a statement, suggesting college leaders not look to Congress but now bargain collectively with athletes.

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

The College Football Players Association supports a collective bargaining model without employment. CFBPA plans to start lobbying Congress.

Wrote in today's @On3NIL Newsletter about the role of Congressional assistance in the future of college sports.

Union-Free NCAA Collective Bargaining Idea Gains Backers https://t.co/pWggsRTvfu via @sportico

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

The College FB Players Association announces its supports for a non-employment, CBA model for the sport - something Jack Swarbrick and others within the industry believe is a solution.

A Congressional carve-out is needed as explained here - https://t.co/XNDM33OUvO

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@ChrisVannini Especially great model to go after, as soccer clubs often have 60% + revenue share with the players

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@CFBNerds This ultimately failed, as Kevin Warren and the Big 10 began directly calling players and offering made up big 10 council positions instead. That council never met once.

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@CFBNerds Hey here is the cfbpa platform, https://t.co/bHWm1GZiri

Plank 7, for group NIL deals, was added by penn state players we attempted to unionize in 2022.

[Blake Ferguson @blakeferguson48]

$600 and a copy of the game is shameful for college athletes.

Let me explain why:

NFL players are compensated ~$30,000-35,000 per year to be in the Madden video game. Assuming there are roughly 3,000 players in the game, that’s well over $90M.

Carry that to the NCAA video game which will undoubtedly sell the same amount if not more copies due to the fact that it’s been 10 years since the release. The same $90M divided by ~16,000 players across Div. 1 football, should be well over $5k per player.

Don’t get me wrong, I am as excited as anyone that the game is returning. However, $600 and a copy of the game is not worth what you’ve spent 10 years fighting for.

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@CFBNerds Hey happy to talk with you guys more about who we are and what we are doing some time. Had fun talking last time game news came out.

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@SoonerKeith1 @RealGeoffGoods @CFBPAOfficial Madden dev costs are around 100 mil a year. If the game makes more than 300 mil they are likely clearing all marketing expenses and will make wayyyyy more than 6 mil. EA will absolutely take over 100 mil profit for this game. 6 mil is insignificant at that scale

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@SoonerKeith1 @RealGeoffGoods @CFBPAOfficial This contract locks players in for their eligibility unless they opt out between Dec 1st and 31st. 600 a year for 5 games.

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@EssentialDD @BeatinTheBookie 6 mil will be less than 1% of revenue

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@RealGeoffGoods @CFBPAOfficial if the game makes over 1 bil in revenue over 5 years, then 6 mil is 0.6% of that revenue. Will it be over 1 bil? probably not but over 500 mil? almost certainly. 6 mil is pennies in both production cost and potential revenue for this game.

[Justin Falcinelli @Jfalc50]

@kennesawdawg97 @CFBPAOfficial The issue is that the O'bannon case makes a character creator a legal gray area. They have to try to include athletes in order to have that available, but want to take advantage of an unorganized group and pay bottom dollar to get it done.
