A lot of schools will be cutting programs and thus cutting women’s programs I would assume

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Only if schools provide NIL

This will likely change in the very near future when the Trump administration installs new officials. The article also notes this ruling doesn't impact collectives so schools will just go back to collectives paying athletes versus 100% coming from schools directly. Either way the Power schools will find away around this Ohio State, Bama, Oregon, Penn State, Miami, Texas etc aren't gonna pay anywhere close to a 50/50 NIL split to their men and women athletes regardless of any directive.

Starting in July schools will be providing NIL and most have already starting going to that model

Many schools may be putting that on pause until things are fully clarified.

I’m worried even if we do pull of the $20 million mark like most schools. If these other boosters still can put as much money in what’s going to stop these schools,from having an extra $10-15 million from boosters on top of the 20 million from there respective school.

There's always going to be schools with much larger war chest, there's no way around that unfortunately.

True but if there is still a $10-15 million dollar difference even after schools start paying, what’s gonna be different than now?

There isn't going to be a difference, the only difference is that schools can now pay directly and up 20.5 million a year. That doesn't stop outside groups or collectives from still paying players if they want to above and beyond whatever the school is. Most schools will request that donors give to the directly but certainly some schools will have not only the 20.5 million but other millions from collectives/boosters etc.

The women's basketball players are going to be making a whole heck of a lot more money than they are today.

I also think this ends up meaning that non-revenue sports get NIL funds primarily through the school, while the non-school funds and collectives (and as always, backroom deals) will be doing the majority of the funding for your athletes from Mens BBall and football. The schools $ will be seen as the 'sweetener' is my best guess.

I wouldn't bet on it, there's loopholes around the directive.

 

[qdawgg]

When Elon gets rid of the Dept of education, nothing will be changed.

And as you said this will be changed in a new admin. They want to gut the dept of education. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a legal challenge to title ix- there have been some brewing and with the makeup of the SC, they will likely get the ruling they want.

No politics.

Comment seemed neutral, factual, and relevant to me. Unfortunately, sometimes it's unavoidable.

This, I’m actually surprised they announced will probably be overturned nextvweek

I’m sure this will be discussed and analyzed in detail. I admit I don’t know what this ruling is trying to say/accomplish. But it seems to me that the very nature of “Name, Image and Likeness” implies that all athletes are not “equal” and that no “equitable” structure can be created. The starting QB, RB and WR on the D1 football team have a different NIL “value” to an outside entity than the second string faceoff player on the women’s LAX team.
