The College Swimmer behind the NCAA’s $2.7 Billion Lawsuit | House vs NCAA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Former college swimmer, Grant House, talks about his lawsuit, House vs NCAA, that recently was settled in court with a $2.7 Billion settlement from the NCAA that will change NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) for College Athletes forever.
As a member of the Arizona State Swim team & representing Team USA on multiple occasions, Grant’s NIL was used multiple times throughout his career by the NCAA but he never saw a dime of it. Nor did the Football & Basketball players that helped fund lower revenue-generating sports - like Olympic sports. Grant set out on a mission to change that.
With the recent settlement by the NCAA, Grant talks about his idea of the future of College Athletics within the NCAA.

Bro when Kyle said Olympic swimming could be cut my heart dropped to earths core
no no no - I meant Olympic sports... LIKE swimming, at the college level are in jeopardy.
But again - I think people are overreacting to the rollout of what impact this will actually have at the college level.
@@KyleMillis I think we'll definitely see the sport swing more in favor of major D1 programs like Texas, Florida, ASU, Cal, etc., and power conferences in general, since they have a lot more resources to offer athletes. I actually think this is a good thing though. Having power conferences like that might increase marketability, since people love watching juggernauts clash against each other in sports.
@@KyleMillis So Swimming, Track & Field, Water Polo, Field Hockey, and Gymastics or all including Basketball, Hockey, Soccer, and Tennis?
Helluva gamble to suggest that a college is profiting off a swimmer's NIL given that expenses for swim programs seem to dwarf profits 10-1
Grant is an Opp
Kyle, I’ve been liking this format of your content recently. You’re doing a great job making it easy to digest while simultaneously being entertaining. Question for you- you said at the end of the video that this ruling will “keep more college athletes in the ecosystem” but are you referring to only power 5 athletes here? What about athletes who will be forced to transfer or quit if their mid major school has to cut their sport? I understand that football and basketball bring in revenue but some mid major d1 schools don’t have both and could really struggle because of this
Unfortunately my brother is currently looking at Division I mid-majors for swimming. What scares me is that they are going to cut the programs and he will have nowhere to go. Which would suck because he works incredibly hard to be in the position he is in.
I will admit my statement was directed towards P5 schools with the understanding that if they’re benefiting, there will be more money in the NCAA ecosystem to be spread to Mid-Major schools
@@KyleMillisI see… it’s definitely an interesting situation and only time will tell how it’ll all play out
I’m sorry to say this but I have to personally disagree with you on that while it puts more money into P5 schools and could put more money into the NCAA ecosystem. I don’t think the NCAA is going to be charitable to the mid-majors. However I do hope that I am wrong but I have to say this has sparked debate.
@@KyleMillis firstly, thank you for all your great content. Clearly you’ve worked very hard and put a lot of time into this.
I’d like to better understand this point. Are we sure that if more money is made in the NCAA from star athletes it’ll get spread across? wouldn’t it just go to the star athletes (via NIL) and/or revenue generating program ie football and basketball?
Or, you could attend college on a swimming scholarship and enjoy all of the real benefits associated with the experience and education! Graduate and go on to fill your “life’s cups” in any way you chose! Greed is an insidious influence.
It’s mind blowing to think the amount of money in College sports in the US. A lot of Olympians from other countries have to have jobs while trying for the Olympics. It’s time to make the Olympics a fair competition and go back to having pure amateurs.
Ncaa didn’t decide to allow athletes to use nil. The courts forced them to do so 😂😅. Ncaa was a literal plantation 😂
Yes he did see a dime of it. His tuition was paid for, trainers, food, housing and more. Don’t let these athletes act like schools don’t invest that money into them.
Think about how much money college football makes
@@zacharytoma3837 Think about how much of that goes into college football... some people don't realise the OBSCENE spending in college football.
Interesting take. As the parent of a high schooler hoping to get recruited D1 in swimming, the talk about cutting roster sizes and eliminating walk-on positions to teams is discouraging. Is there going to be a segment of students that at one point could have swam at a power 5 school, but are going to be closed out now? That would be a shame. Too soon to tell, I realize, I just hope any unintended consequences don't negatively impact kids that might be on the bubble for D1 recruitment.
Grant and Kyle get your head out of the sand. How will NIL and the transfer portal keep players around? Athletes are more mobile than ever. Why should football share its revenue with any other sports? Soon football will spin off from the other sports and create a 20-30 team league and the other sports will either dissolve or reform into more geographically logical conferences. It makes no sense for non-basketball and football sports to be traveling all over the country for a duel meet that makes no money. Wake up.
So a no name swimmer ruined it for most swimmers after him. THANKS
The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Road to hell? Far from it
I believe what Grant has done is keep college sports relevant, there has been a sharp drop off in the past decade (with all the 1 & Dones). ESPN talking heads will echo that as well.
He’s keeping college sports relevant - thus boosting all smaller sports in the long run!
@@KyleMillis While I don't disagree that it's likely very good for college basketball and football, the SEC is already moving to limiting men's swimming to a hard roster limit of 22. I fear that the future of college swimming, especially for men, is bleak.
@@KyleMillis What do you mean by relevant?
@@KyleMillisRevenue is meaningless when you don’t generate enough to cover all these bills House generated.l for Olympic sports. Less opportunities, less athletes. There is no debate.
@@KyleMillis Kyle false on this take 🤣😂🤣
I have always found it odd why US universities/colleges are so big into these sport league things. Where I come from, university is for an education while sport is something that is done elsewhere.
Did your schools have sports teams when you were younger ?? And did you not play the surrounding schools ? America does that in college, except across the entire country in a massive way 😂 and it’s awesome to watch some of the best athletes in the world represent their universities, all while getting an education too! Pretty darn cool if you ask me :)
Sports bring revenue to fund the academic programs for strong d1 programs, or provide a way for students to have an outlet or just enjoy the experience of being on a team and competing for d3 colleges. It creates a culture and boosts quality of life the best schools in the world are mostly in America so clearly it can work
would be great if you make a video on how student athletes can earn aside from nils and college partnerships
It can be very difficult - I know I had a lot of side hobbies to make money before NIL started.
I was selling old computers & phones and refurbishing them - I actually have a video about it on my channel from my early RUclips videos.
These athletes are pampered, if this happens colleges should cancel all scholarships and charge athletes for use of facilities and coaching
We are all so grateful for Grant and his optimistic view for college sports, because optimism definitely pays bills. Enjoy the notoriety of having your NIL be attached to the death of programs across the country.
Yep…he’s a jerk
If the schedule of major championships in every sport was more spread out maybe more people would attend other sports events and would be actually more recognized for the teams accomplishments hope that made sense idk
I think THAT's exactly what Grant is hoping for. If we have Volleyball earlier in the season, then there will be less overlap with Football - helping drive more of an audience & relevance!
@@KyleMillis yes that’s what i was trying to say!
No one cares about swimming in the US except the Olympics.
Well, the money is there, they just don't wanna lose their profits
NIL is already ruined college sports. Along with the transfer portal. Are you kidding?? Sure because if they can make a deal for money you will stay longer. And still not be able enough to make it. But they make money. Let’s start paying the top 120 top non athletes that have to go into debt paying for the education.
House got his bag and pulled the ladder up behind him. Destroyed USA swimming as we know it. What’s next will be a sad copy of what we once were.
The man who killed college swimming for 12$ and a smoothie
A smoothie?? Where are you getting these stats 😂
Swimming killed itself. They allowed the sport to go underwater.
football and basketball may generate a lot of revenue but they are also the most expensive. The coaches of big programs make in the millions. Half the 60 man football roster don't even participate in a single play in 4 years. Lots of money spent on scholarships for recruited athletes.
It takes a hell of a lot of money to put your kids into sports. Having the kids be able to profit from private companies for endorsements would be a blessing for most families of modest income.
O.B. Keeler was one of the greatest golf writers ever to use a typewriter. He followed and wrote about the greatest amateur in all sports history, the legendary Bobby Jones! He gave one of the greatest quotes ever........""MONEY! IT'S GOING TO RUIN SPORTS!"
Non (or low) revenue sports will need to think of ways to generate revenue. A few simple ideas for swimming: Swimmers could have numbers on their caps, like football players have on their jerseys. Then sell those caps to swim fans. Would I buy a Kyle Millis #23 Cal cap? I sure would! Or commemorative dual meet caps or towels. Local swim clubs are more creative at selling caps and towels and stickers and pins than college athletic departments. Swimming is too staid; time to get creative.
Given the wider issues in this area, there's covert agendas going on.
Are you gonna conduct a follow-up intv. w/ him after tons of schools drop their swimming programs ?
Yes please!!!
All my homies hate grant house
Killed College swimming. Most folks don’t know it exists. Short course swimming is a joke.
If the colleges are going to pay them, then the athletes should pay for the education,training,lodging,meals and all the cost associated with their journey. If you want to make it a like job then it needs to be like a real job. You pay your expenses.
The reality is, many student-athletes AREN’T on a scholarship. The select few who will be receiving the money ARE on scholarship.
@@KyleMillisand even fewer now will get them. GRANT HOUSE IS CAUSING HARM.
I watched this. I’m reading lots of stuff from college coaches. Congratulations you two on your wind fall. Sad it might have such unbelievably negative effects of futures college swimmers. Praying there is a miracle but not hopeful
Yeah…thanks a bunch for NOTHING
Sending him hate
❤Can you say Jeremy Bloom? USA Olympic mogul skier, Colorado University football player. He had endorsements for his skiing, but had to give them up to play football. I don’t remember all the exact details, but something along those lines. Not even the same sport. He was paying his way through college.
obviously there is plenty of money to pay some of the coaches huge money. So there should be some money for the athletes. But a lot of them are getting free rides. So that would need to be accounted for against any possible earnings.
I am all for the players to be more taken care of. But I would like to know what job in America to when your hired they give you your pay rate. Now if that job gets major contracts or they bring more business in. They don't give you a raise in pay. Walmart doesn't pay more at Christmas time.. But all of these schools don't make money. Like major conferences. And sports that doesn't make money schools pay travel equipment staff where are smaller schools get the money from. Now you have to separate income from sports and booster dollars. The big schools can now pay nore for players and players can take the money and change schools yearly. All of his ideas cost money. And the dozen of life changes to the thousands of players. Not every schools support volleyball like Nebraska. I'm for the players being taken care of this was not the way for it.
If they are going to be paid professional athletes in college they don't need scholarships tbise should go to students who have financial need and aren't athletes
Who is supposed to get a share of the almost $3 billion?
I was a debater in college and I was never paid anything. I got transportation, meals and lodging while we were on the trips and that's it. Oh, and a couple of cheap trophies. One trip we had to sleep in the Ohio State stadium. One trip we had to go to Wayne State U. in Detroit in an old clunker that kept breaking down. Imagine taking 18 hours to go 200 miles and then debate that evening.
Intellectual competitions don't generate much interest. It seems it's limited to kids learning to spell words that no one has ever heard of and will never need to use or identifying locations that no one ever needs to locate.
I love Grant's Insta posts
Grant is doing real NIL on his Instagram - taking us behind the scenes of what life is like as a College Swimmer
He practices what he preaches!
@@KyleMillis 100%
So who's paying who for Grant House's image? Seriously. ASU raking in big money? Death by a thousand cuts.
Suing is the name of the billionaire company
I don't get it swim teams extract money from the the school. So swimmers want money to swim for the university?
Most of the revenue will go to big name athletes who competed in the NCAA and weren’t fairly compensated for their financial impact - examples: Johnny Manziel (Football) and Zion Williamson (Basketball)
However - there is still TV revenue being generated when ESPN buys the rights to host the Swimming Championships on their platform. Shouldn’t swimmers get THAT money?
It’s more around revenue generating activities having some sort of kickback to the Athletes, even if it’s at the NCAAs loss, because why should some massive organization (pretty much made up out of nowhere) get to control all of college sports without paying / incentivizing its athletes.
@@KyleMillisthere won’t be any money. There was money as a part of an umbrella organization. No one’s paying to watch swimming. This will shrink the sport and opportunities for Olympic athletes. This ladder-puller got his bag and nuked our sport.
@@KyleMillistell me you don’t understand the unintended consequences of this without telling me you don’t understand the unintended consequences of this. Tell it to all the programs that will close, the rosters that will smaller, and the college swimmers who wouldve been college swimmers but now won’t be.
I came from a poor deep south family where you don't take anything for granted.
My college and the NCAA took me in and had a mountain of resources to support me through my sport, academic studies and job applications. I was motivated by getting a free degree, professional development and the mountain of accolades up for grabs, not money.
It was the greatest 5-years of my life and when it was over I easily found a full-time job thank's to these institutions. I've even been able to help improve the livelihoods of some of my relatives.
Grant who feels the need to where sunglasses inside when been interviewed, is the product of a generation that lacks work ethics, is entitled and plays the victim to get what they want.
If anyone losses their scholarship or job...... blame Grant.
My question is: Who is getting this 2.7 Billion and how is it being split?
That will be a question for the lawyers to figure out… 🤷🏼♂️
@@KyleMillis Then is this a Class Action Lawsuit with many unnamed plaintiffs besides the 3 main parties listed in the video?
I thought this was gonna be about Leah Thomas 😂
same with scientific research
Context?
🏐🏏🏆🏅
Thank you Grant, you're a trailblazer! This should have been done a long time ago
