I don’t know. A lot of the time the people screaming the loudest, trying to unionize, and filing lawsuits aren’t the ones in line to eventually get paid once they are professionals.
There are 10s of thousands of student athletes. “ A lot of times” is likely a vocal drop in the bucket.

Honestly that practice should be stopped and any school that takes public tax money should have to recruit US students

Correct.

Who are also really, really good. Are you somehow under the false impression academic scholarships aren't offered to foreigners who excel in the classroom? Or as we approach turning these into businesses you feel the need to restrict the right to "free trade"?

These threads are weird to me. A buncha people salivating at the thought of these entitled kids getting their comeuppance. The non revenue producing sports aren't just gonna disappear. They will be paid less or be paid in other ways. All the athletes aren't getting NIL deals equal to what the quarterbacks get, so I don't think title IX will require equal dollars or paid players between sports.
Under this scenario title IX is likely irrelevant anyway as ncaa will lose all power and the conferences will take over

The short answer to this is ,…..Good.
The whole system of college athletics financing is totally screwed up by layers of laws and administrative BS with Title IX being a prime example of that. I say let the free market work, if boosters want to pay an 18 year old $2 million to be their college football QB then let them. If college administrators cannot make their budgets work out to fund all their sports programs then make cuts. Mr Phillips making threats that sports will be cut is his way of making excuses for the fact that he cannot control the free market which should be what determines what people get paid for.

The biggest issue I see will be that for the majority of universities, there are no revenue-producing sports, they are all net negative. I think this would signal the end of college athletics as we know it.

This is bullshite. They are a recruitment tool to bring in students and get a cut of that government student loan money.

Do you think that makes a sport a revenue producer? Pays staff and coaches' salaries and the cost of putting on the sporting events and maintaining the venues at lower level FBS, FCS, and D2-4 schools?

If schools thought they were a net negative, they would get rid of them completely.
Sports are basically part of the marketing budget

Isn’t this basically a government law?
Also, it’s not just the scholarship numbers that people are talking about.
Football and men’s basketball pays all the other sports. If revenue sharing is implemented to the maximum degree, that money is no longer funneled to non-revenue producing sports and instead, stays within the basketball and football programs.

I never thought Beach Volleyball should be a athletic department funded sport. That should always be a club sport.
Outside of football and men's basketball, most other sports don't make money.
Baseball might go the way of being a club sport which most schools already have as well.

Is likely women’s beach volleyball at most schools and is likely only a funded sport due to Title IX.
