Gonzaga has remained silent following the court's approval of the House vs. NCAA lawsuit settlement, which allows schools to share revenue with athletes starting July 1. This change particularly benefits schools that prioritize basketball, like Gonzaga, as they can allocate more funds to their basketball programs without the pressures of funding football. The settlement's revenue-sharing cap allows schools with a rich basketball tradition to share a substantial portion of funds with their basketball players, potentially giving teams like Gonzaga a competitive advantage in recruiting top talent.
The Zags stand to become one of the biggest winners in the post-House world, where schools can share revenue with athletes starting July 1.
Schools with rich basketball traditions could exceed the average within the Power Four and share $4 million-to-$5 million with their basketball players.
Gonzaga could allocate as much as it wants into men's basketball as long as it meets the cap and commits to Olympic sports.
Gonzaga's situation allows it to have a significant talent-acquisition advantage without the need to invest heavily in football.
