sport. If you are a football player and football generated $20 million in revenue require something like 35% of that money goes to the athlete in either scholarships or pay.
MIzzou made something like $20 million in football revenue last year. So that gives the players $7 million.
If there are 85 football players on scholarship and a scholarship with room and board costs an average of $35,000 the schools would spend around $3 million dollars on that. That would leave $4 million to be paid to the players or something like $47,000 each player. That still leaves the AD with $13 million for football coaches' salaries and money to pay the non-revenue sports' scholarships.
