“Based on the information I have available to me today, we will probably share more revenue with our student-athletes ... than any Group of Five (school) in the country,” athletic director Ed Scott said, “or we will be at the top of that list.” (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian file)
Though Memphis opted into the settlement, athletic director Ed Scott said in late April that the Tigers did not have the means to share the full $20.5 million with their athletes.
