Think Tank: CSC Crackdown?

by TexCane

In 2025, the Power Four Conferences (Big 12, ACC, SEC, Big Ten) created the College Sports Commission (CSC) as part of the House v. NCAA settlement to monitor third-party NIL contracts and oversee the NCAA's revenue-sharing model.

At the time, an NIL spending cap (approximately $20.5M per school) was implemented. However, two of the four conferences (SEC and Big Ten) have largely ignored the cap and now spend as much as $40m a year.

What happened to that cap?

When will the CSC crackdown on offending schools?

What will be the penalties?

Let us suggest the following penalties.

a. Schools spending more than 20.5M a year on NIL revenue sharing would be fined an amount equal to the overage.

b. Schools spending more than 20.5M a year on NIL revenue sharing would beineligible from participating in the CFP or bowls for two years.

BOTTOM LINE:

It’s time to take back control of college football. We need a level playing field for all schools.
