Good Read on the upcoming revenue sharing plan (non-LSU related)

Will be interesting to see how title IX factors into this

The Dept or Education issued a memo last night providing guidance stating revenue-sharing payments from schools to athletes must be “proportionately” distributed to men and women athletes, or institutions risk violating Title IX

EDT: Obviously this is the outgoing Dept of Ed. So I suspect the timing is not coincidental and they know the incoming Dept. of Ed may be VERY different in the way it conducts business. I suspect the new Dept. of Ed may see thing differently and not be so bullish on the position that the backup RF on the softball team should received an equal share of the revenue provided to the QB on the football team...despite the fact it is the football team that generates the largest portion of the revenue.

IMO, its a partisan politic virtue signal from the DOE knowing that in 3 days their positions are irrelevant. But you can bet every dollar you own that a group is going to challenge the revenue sharing proposal that gives football and men's basketball a larger portion as a violation of Title IX.

Hopefully, "proportionately" means proportional to the revenue generated by each sport and not proportional to individual payments.

Good point.

Like I've said in another thread look for schools to reclassify certain sports programs that are not profitable as "Clubs." Going to be a lot of players taken off scholarships in order equal out the financial problems this will create.

Also, place future bets now on basketball schools like UCONN, GONZAGA, MARQUETTE to continue dominating the hardwood

Pause.

I mean they’re more of a basketball school than LSU. Dominating though is a far stretch I agree.
