What a ****ing mess
All this money talk. I’m becoming a bored legend.I was first!! Have to find the post. Looks like we are board legends
Why so?
I think I agree, but have not dug in too deep. But just a quick glance at Title IX, and tagging @retired711 for his thoughts:
"Title IX states:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.
.......
A recipient institution that receives Department funds must operate its education program or activity in a nondiscriminatory manner free of discrimination based on sex, including sexual orientation and gender identity. Some key issue areas in which recipients have Title IX obligations are: recruitment, admissions, and counseling; financial assistance; athletics;"
Preliminary thought- can see the argument holding some water that women will claim they are being denied benefits and financial assistance that men's sports are receiving. Not saying I agree, just saying. . . . .

Title IX and Sex Discrimination
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities which receive Federal financial assistance.www.ed.gov
I have been worried about this since “revenue sharing” started being discussed several months ago.
Yeah, I was gonna say in a couple of days you may not even have to provide the women uniforms with names on them. Just hand out numbers so they can reuse the jerseys next year. LolNew administration will undo this quickly.
Bullshit dudeU.S. Dept of Education should be a prime target for DOGE.
they areU.S. Dept of Education should be a prime target for DOGE.
The idea is that the revenue sharing consists of payments to the athletes for NIL. That's why "revenue sharing" and "NIL" are being talked about together.That texts stayed NIL opportunities provided by school, this whole time I thought we were talking about moving towards revenue share provided by school?
Wouldn’t that be out of scope here?
@retired711 ?
Spot onI mean it’s a really wild idea that Revenue would be mandated to be shared equally amongst the sports that don’t contribute to earning the revenue. What makes a swimmer different from a club soccer player or an intramural flag football qb in that regard.
This issue came up in the 1970s when the Department of Education was proposing that financial aid be allocated proportionally. The NCAA argued that requirement should not apply to revenue sports. The Department rejected that position. So far as I know, the Department's decision was not challenged in court.I mean it’s a really wild idea that Revenue would be mandated to be shared equally amongst the sports that don’t contribute to earning the revenue.

It's as real as the White House Chief of Staff.Lol doge isn't real
The title 9 problem starts and ends with the fact that football should never have been counted as a sport for equal treatment because even at bad schools, it generally generates enough revenue to pay for itself. The schools are not spending more on football than they are on women’s sports because football generates the revenue to fund the program, whereas for all of the Olympic sports (men and women’s), the school funds 100%. That Olympic funding should be done evenly for both men and women. But football should not be part of the equation. Because football has been counted title 9 has decimated men’s Olympic sports in college and had a terrible impact on men’s teams performance on the U.S. Olympic team as well because schools have cut the men’s programs to compensate for the 85 men’s scholarships for football, decimating the training grounds for male Olympic athletes."name, image and likeness"
I can see having to provide equal opportunities for publicity. But if the athlete isn't a star and they're on a team that isn't popular, that athletes name image or likeness isn't worth anything. Not sure if even men on the soccer team or even baseball or wrestling are getting what football and basketball players get....but I don't think the money schools will be paying out is considered nil, that's revenue sharing I believe. Even then, if your sport isn't generating any revenue that's like getting paid for not doing anything. This is all new so there haven't been enough cases to clear everything up and set a precedent. Will take some time.. To me this seems like the equivalent of a referee calling an unsure play a touchdown because they know they can take a closer look in video review.
