NCAA to distribute money based on academics

[WstateU]

Oh boy, this should be fun. You're going to see some record academic performances at P-5 schools. :) Call me skeptical, but I hope it works.

"Beginning with the 2019-20 season, the NCAA will take a portion of Division I revenue and dole it out based on the academic achievement of student-athletes."

I'm looking forward to the imminent discovery that college athletes are suddenly becoming very smart across the board.

Who will it hurt the most? Probably jucos : ) They won't see anymore academically ineligible d-1 guys because those guys will all be straight A students now.

This has all the earmarks of a classic NCAA unintended consequences plan. Sometimes I think they do things like this just to see what creative ways coaches will come up with to cheat.
