Message: [QUOTE="SUFan44, post: 5322164, member: 39"] There are a few things I'll add to this conversation: - A lot of schools have already started to shut down their collectives. If this ruling comes to be (and to be clear, I don't think it will), there will be a lot of schools opening them back up. - Revenue sharing can only take place through the schools, but can also include (I believe) scholarships to a point. I would anticipate the majority of the sharing for women's sports to take the place of the scholarship subsidies many women's sports already receive. - This would then diminish the opportunities women's sports are given - currently, many women's sports that are fully funded -- tennis, golf, softball -- are allotted scholarship numbers that create full ride opportunities for the majority of the team. With no scholarship limits in place, but roster limits instead, I could see scenarios where the vast majority of the revenue split (if Title IX laws need to be abided) will be scholarships, and that's all the scholarships each program would receive. - All of these conversations are likely moot. No way this administration will allow this to pass. Last thing I'll say, and please don't take this as anti-women's sports because that's not what I am or who I am. But if I'm a part of women's sports or advocacy groups, I would think very long and hard if they want to move forward with this revenue split based on Title IX. The opportunities that female student-athletes have received through scholarships, for sports that generate negative balance sheets for Universities, is a crazy amount. If they push this Title IX ruling, the unintended consequences for future decisions by school officials who are more and more cognizant of the bottom line could be massive. [/QUOTE]
