House vs NCAA (lacrosse)

[OrangeXtreme]

Why would the Yankees pay Gleyber Torres $50 million a year when he's overpaid at $14.2 million now? There's no way we should have to give the 44th-48th kid on a bench a full ride.

We are NOT going to be fully funding 48 scholarships. I'd be surprised if we went any higher than 25-27. And I'll bet the rest of the ACC & Big10 will agree. Nobody wants to escalate an arms race for a non-revenue sport.

How many players on a full ride sit on the football team?

Football is a revenue sport, same with basketball. You are comparing apples to oranges. According to college factual Syracuse football had a net income of 22 million and basketball had net income of 19 million. The same year, men's lacrosse had a net loss of 1.3 million. Both the football and basketball teams fully fund their own scholarships while the lacrosse team does not.

That's because the FBS rules require that anyone getting a scholarship for football (and all D-1 M & W basketball players, too) must get a full scholarship. They are/were "headcount sports". FCS football teams can and do give partials. At one time it was 65 full scholarship equivalents that could be spread out over 85 players.

SU will absolutely field more scholarships but I find it unlikely they will fund 48 or be in that neighborhood as you noted. I am not sure any school will be doing that to be honest, even Hop and Maryland won't have the finances. I suspect SU will at minimum double what they have now and probably end up somewhere around 30 give or take.

I don't see it happening overnight either, it will take several years to get to the final number of scholarships--somewhere around 25 to 30 is my guess.

there is no such thing in today's title ix as parity. 83% of the old nil settlement dollars will be going to football and basketball. similar amounts from this for future payments to current athletes. football coaches with 8 and 9 figure contracts. 9 figure football facilities. more scholarships and spots for men when they make up 40-45% of the student pop.

title ix will be a pimple. the one thing it will give is protection that women's non-revs will be extremely difficult to cut. men's, maybe not so much.

Time will tell, but it will take an act of congress (literally) to remove the access and parity of institutional financial aid (scholarships) for male and female athletes. Will wait and see how it shakes out. You are likely correct that it will become very difficult to cut non-rev women's sports -it already is and will become more difficult.
