Certainly not that you need to give every player on your roster money. It's up to the school to distribute it how they want.

I do think at high majors all scholarship players will get something, but there will probably more of a "pay 2-3 stars a lot & pay the role players less" model.

So when they sign their LOI with the school, the amount "distributed" in not in that LOI and in subsequent years when scholarships are renewed, or is that a "separate" contract? I cannot imagine what revenue share a player will get is not in writing. So I doubt players will not receive no payments.

Except for the pay part, that has happened in all sports above Jr. High forever.

If Shaka can't be the heavy, but fair and honest, with his players, MU has to move on right away.

The pay part is pretty important.
You're free to disagree, but I just don't think Shaka would cut one of "his" guy's income to zero then expect/encourage him to stay.
If your boss told you the company was laying you off, but you were welcome to keep coming and working for free, I suspect you'd pass, no matter how much you like your co-workers or the office.

Trash - Shaka sure as hell can't be the
" heavy " ..

I'm convinced he ( almost ) runs it back
w/ maybe two additions.  Zaide and hopefully Sean's spots.

You're a bit off with what wades is saying. It's up to the school to distribute the money how they see fit.

Imagine a pool of 20 million, the school will divide that up to its players, but one guy might get 5 million, while another gets 1 million, and another 100,000. These numbers are known to the players, and the players will negotiate their pay before signing.
