Revenue Sharing Title IX

[Brooky03]

Have we discussed the new Title IX guidance on college revenue sharing? I read an article in 5 minutes, so probably missed a lot, but it sounds like schools have to pay men’s and women’s sports equally/proportionally. That means the millions going to football players has to be spread among the non-revenue female athletes, too.

Assuming schools aren’t going to pay every athlete the same amount, does this mean football players will make, idk, like $150k a piece, female table tennis players will make $100k and male soccer players will make like $20k?

On the surface, with zero homework done and a tenuous grasp of how this works, it seems pretty darn wild.

NIL ruling Title IX

What are the implications of this, and what does it mean going forward?

I can't believe colleges and the NCAA are this far down the road towards paying players or I mean 'students' millions of dollars to play football and basketball and didn't think Title IX rulings and lawsuits by women would happen to force equal payments to women but here we are.

It's amazing how the idiots supposedly in charge are ruining college sports.

If your riding the pine and not that good simply being on scholarship is a win. 4/5 years is way longer than most NBA or NFL careers last these guys can all play their way into bigger deals next year.

Until there is a collective bargaining agreement it isnt ever going to be fixed. Maybe the leaders get together with the new administration and see if congress can step in. Have all of the commissioners and respected coaches like Saben, JB, coach K , coach Mack involved and something gets done.

This is kinda like when someone gives money to the vet school that the arts school gets an equal share.

what if the revenue money is broken up by sport when it shows up.

title ix has its merit, not sure this is it.

I mentioned this in another thread a week or so ago. I'm guessing certain schools will gain a major competitive advantage by interpreting things differently...we'll see what happens when they inevitably get sued though - then it's up to the court. The Department of Ed issued guidance but it's not law, and things very well might change since we just changed administrations.

I wonder if this money will be what kills non-revenue sports, and, by extension most women's sports. Some universities will gain competitive advantages by shedding all non-revenue sports, only having football and basketball and then whatever is necessary in women's sports so they can claim they're providing equal access to sports. That means more money for the revenue sport athletes, which means better revenue teams, which means more money for the university and safety in conference stuff.

They're burning it down, but it's a slow burn. Congress really needs to do something now. This will probably be the most disruptive change, since now we're talking about the university's money.
