Revenue sharing will more than likely begin in 2025
In a giant result coming down from the NCAA today, all power conferences as well as the NCAA have agreed to allow universities to pay players directly for the first time in NCAA history.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Dan Murphy, the NCAA is planning on settling three massive federal antitrust cases resulting in a payout of $2.7 billion in damages over the course of ten years to current and former athletes.

By now, we’ve heard from, well, pretty much any and all media types, including yours truly, about Harrison Butker and his lightning rod of a commencement speech at Benedictine College earlier this month.
What I hadn’t heard was anyone straight up telling Butker, the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, to go f*** himself.
And then some podcast that I’ve never heard of dropped.

The Chicago Cubs and their fans are apparently still salty about something that happened late last season against the Atlanta Braves.
With the Cubs desperately trying to claw their way into the postseason, they played a three-game series against the Braves in Atlanta. It was the penultimate series of the season for both teams. 
The Braves had already clinched the NL East and weren’t playing for much on the night of Sept. 27. However, their best player – Ronald Acuna, Jr. – was chasing history.

This is how you bring fans to your live sporting events. The WNBA’s Washington Mystics cracked the code on genius promotions to help attract fans in the dog days of the schedule.
The Mystics announced their new “Brunch and Basketball” promotion, which combines the best parts of going to sporting events: eating, watching the action and watching the action slightly inebriated.

The mayor of Kansas City announced that the social media admin responsible for doxxing Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is no longer in that role.
According to Mayor Quinton Lucas, the unnamed person who posted Butker’s home city on K.C.’s official social channels has been ‘separated’ from the role following backlash over the reckless post.  
Not wanting to help their cause, OutKick won’t share the since-deleted tweet.

Formula 1 is in Monaco this weekend for what is one of the crown jewels of the series the Monaco Grand Prix.
Nothing compares to the glitz and glamor and watching cars speed around the tightest, twistiest circuit on the calendar — however, the racing can be a little boring at times — alright, most of the time.
But Monaco is still a different animal than just about any other circuit on the schedule and that’s why we sometimes see unusual results.
