If I recall, the NCAA D1 requirement is 16 teams, the individual schools may decide which teams they wish to support.  Title IX requires a balance between men/women scholarships base don student population (there are three measures, schools must meet one, I'm not an expert, just passing along info).

However, if student athletes are now employees, does that negate Title IX?  I don't believe so unless everyone receives a living wage on top of the scholarship, some "floor" to ensure schools are not merely skirting Title IX.  The anticipated addition of football scholarships, from 85 to 105, will also be a factor.

I hope SU is able to fund the teams it has but funds will be limited.  Schools like Stanford, Texas, TAMU, tOSU, UM, etc., can afford to keep the broad scope of teams but my guess is that most schools will reduce teams to the minimum or near minimum because it frees up the limited pool of funds for others.

We can only speculate at the moment, until the court makes a final decision and the dust settles.
