(Jeff Faughender | Courier Journal | USA TODAY NETWORK)<\/p>\n
In June, the House v. NCAA settlement was approved, consequently allowing revenue sharing in college athletics. This past week, Louisville<\/a> head coach Pat Kelsey<\/a> revealed his thoughts on the introduction of revenue sharing in college basketball.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s good that the settlement\u2019s finally done,\u201d Kelsey said<\/a>. \u201cThere was speculation. Will it? Won\u2019t it. Will it? Won\u2019t it? Will it get approved? And then there\u2019s all this other stuff. Just the fact that it\u2019s done, and we have some parameters, we have guidelines, we\u2019ve pressed the go button. And, obviously, outside the settlement, there\u2019s true NIL as well, and it\u2019ll just be really interesting.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a collective want too in college sports right now, to try to make this work. Change is inevitable, and this is one of the most seismic shifts in the history of college basketball, the last couple years both the transfer portal and with NIL. And this new change, but you like that there\u2019s some structure now. And I think everybody\u2019s committed to make this work.\u201d<\/p>\n Schools are now allowed to share $20.5 million directly with their athletes. This revenue-sharing cap will increase by 4% annually.<\/p>\n Each school can choose how they want to split up the $20.5 million between its programs. Louisville hasn\u2019t publicly revealed how it will divvy up the money, but men\u2019s basketball receives the second-largest percentage of the money, behind football, at most schools.<\/p>\n After Pat Kelsey led the Cardinals to a 27-8 overall record and an ACC Tournament Championship appearance last season, it\u2019s safe to assume Louisville men\u2019s basketball will receive its fair share in the school\u2019s revenue-sharing budget. After all, the Cardinals are poised for another standout season.<\/p>\n Louisville reeled in the No. 21 class in On3\u2019s 2025 Team Transfer Portal Rankings<\/a> this offseason. The group includes Isaac McKneely<\/a>, Ryan Conwell<\/a> and Adrian Wooley<\/a>, each of whom were some of the most sought-after players at their respective position in the portal.<\/p>\n Not to mention, the team is returning numerous key pieces, including J\u2019Vonne Hadley<\/a>, Aly Khalifa<\/a> and Kasean Pryor<\/a>. On3\u2019s James Fletcher III listed Louisville as the No. 11 team in the country in his \u201cway-too-early\u201d Top 25 for the 2025-26 season. Fletcher isn\u2019t the only college basketball expert with high expectations for Louisville next season.<\/p>\n \u201cLast season for Pat Kelsey was about changing the narrative surrounding the program,\u201d CBS Sports\u2019 Jon Rothstein said. \u201cThis season is about being in a situation where you can get a high seed on Selection Sunday and be in position to play very deep into the NCAA Tournament.<\/p>\n \u201cRight now, unequivocally, Louisville will enter next season as the top contender to Duke<\/a> in the ACC. And Louisville will play its most-anticipated season, highlighted by its most-anticipated non-conference schedule in a long time. This is the most-anticipated season Louisville has had in five years.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Pat Kelsey reacts to House Settlement, revenue-sharing reaching college basketball<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Jeff Faughender | Courier Journal | USA TODAY NETWORK) In June, the House v.
