Earlier this month, a settlement involving the NCAA and the Power Five conferences outlined a way for college athletes to share in the revenue they generate for schools for the first time in the history of collegiate athletics. And new Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore seems to think it was a long time coming.
During a recent press conference, Sherrone Moore made it clear that he is in support of a revenue share model. In fact, he thinks that such a model should have come to college football “a while ago.”
“I feel great about it,” Moore said Wednesday according to On3. “I always agreed with [Harbaugh] when he initially brought it up. It should’ve happened a while go. We’re super happy that it’s gonna happen.
“There’s obviously, a plan we have a process of going through. It’s got to go through courts and go through different things. We’re stoked for it.”
Obviously, there are now a lot of logistics that will have to be worked out before revenue sharing comes to college football completely, but it’s clear that Moore and Michigan are excited about the landmark changes in the sport and are working toward ushering in a new era of college football.
