Group of Five schools have a decision to make over the next year: opt into revenue sharing and strain their budget, or opt out and risk falling further behind in football.
For Utah State, the answer is clear. The Aggies intend to opt-in on revenue sharing — letting each school direct up to $22 million in funds toward paying athletes each year — once the landmark House settlement is finalized.
Even if they don’t have the budget of a Power Four school, their goal is to build toward paying players directly.
“Absolutely, we will get there,” athletic director Diana Sabau told The Salt Lake Tribune. “I think we will get there perhaps a little bit slower, or a more thought out process, than the Power Five. It would be easy for them to dip into some coffers to get it started. You know, we don’t have a lot of reserves. We don’t have that financial fund just ready to go. Every day we eat what we can kill, and we have to do a better job of having more reserves, so that we can plan for that.”
