Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne made the Crimson Tide’s initial approach to revenue share plain.

According to the House vs. NCAA settlement, collegiate programs will have $20.5 million at its disposal to distribute to athletes. All SEC programs, per Byrne, pledged $2.5 million in new scholarships, leaving $18 million for Alabama to distribute to its athletes. Byrne said football and men’s basketball will see the highest percentage, following by the other ticketed sports: softball, baseball, gymnastics and women’s basketball.

Most SEC schools are planning to allocate 75% of the player payroll to football, which will amount to about $13.5 million.
