Smaller sports will become club sports. No title 9 implications because there are men’s smaller sports too. Tennis golf etc
You will have both men and women’s track and basketball. Baseball and softball. Football and women’s gymnastics. These sports will be pay for play.

Yea. you are right. "whoever thought of this didnt think anything through". what a moronic statement that has no clue how the world of business works
The NCAA and college administrators while far from perfect and their lack of action has caused this current mess, needed a codified law to at least start this process.
What the hell would you like them to do. That freaking simpleton statement is a microcosm of the world today, You cannot create perfect if you dont at least start with good.....
The odds are very high that you are a W2 employee that bitches and yells at the clouds that your employer is dumb while accepting a check from him every two weeks

This is common with most college athletics. No other sport can have 102,000 people in attendance, bowl games for revenue, etc. Football is the largest business in athletics.

I have thoguht the same thing about the non revenue sports. However there are Title IX implications in numbers across athletics as a whole. If you drop womens soccer then you have an imbalance of womens scholarships vs mens scholarships. Not sure how they navigate around right now.
One other point in that boosters can still contribute to the University and so I would imagine you can fund the $20 mil partially or completely with booster money. If you give to the Univ then that may put the donations back into tax exempt status. NIL donations were not.

Easy to do make each sport their own P&L and if you don’t create a positive revenue you don’t get any $$$. It’s a business not a charity.
You can’t run a business and lose money anymore and use FB as your piggy bank.

unfortunately, we are talking about a government run organization
and that’s not the way this works.

There are Title IX challenges ready to go, amongst others. Like you said, the majority of the sports don’t make a profit. That means football, and to a lesser extent, basketball players will likely still be “underpaid” relative to the revenue/profit their sports generate. NIL will still be the driving factor and sate legislatures (most notably Tennessee, but others will follow) are going to enact laws to give their schools/donors advantages in the NIL marketplace.
In short, I think the House settlement will within a year or two be largely irrelevant in terms of meaningful impact

That's silly, academic sports weren't created to operate like a business and make a profit.
The OP is mostly correct in the crux of the problem that all universities will face. People can downvote it all they want, but it's simply math, there isn't enough money to go around.

Crazy women spent 100 years fighting to have equal opportunities in sports and now it will be interesting to see how many women’s sports are left once the money is divided up.
Though I agree how funny and crazy it is, especially since their sports will probably only end up being cosplaying dudes eventually, iirc title 9 requires it to be 1 for 1 when it comes to men/women sports ratio.

What's TN doing? Sounds like states dropping state income tax for nil aren't following, but doing.

I didn’t read all of that but the answer to your question is bring in more revenue. Either by raising prices or offering more goods/services for people to buy.

If you think the QB's are going to make money, wait until monday & watch the west coast lawyers: Title IX, limits on income earning, employment status, players union, super conference, club sports, etc., etc., etc.
When the White House issues an ex order re Title IX...get the popcorn!

So let’s take a player like Underwood. When the new rules go into effect, is his NIL deal now void? That would wreak havoc on the entire last 2 classes that have signed with schools based on the dollars being paid.
Does the NCAA legally have the ability to void a contract or deny a player income based on documents signed before the rules went into effect?
Don’t know the answers, but this is going to be interesting to watch play out. May have to buy a ton of popcorn to watch this!

Dispute what he just asked a bunch of questions and again researched nothing. There are articles out there about all athletic departments lacking revenue and how they plan to make it up. It generally is not increasing student tuition. I’m not doing his homework for him. And it’s not “SJW” it’s a legal settlement approved by all parties so he’s an idiot but yeah let’s just throw out insults we don’t even understand the meaning of when we don’t know how something works.

Is there a TLDR for his TLDR?

College sports getting destroyed by greed and lawyers no doubt. Sad.
Posted on 6/8/25 at 9:16 am to Saunson69
The answer to all of this.
Amateurism.
The courts have basically said amateurism isn’t allowed if the sponsor of the event is profiting.
It’s shameful.

Or by closing up shop which ultimately may be coming. It’s not sustainable at those numbers.
