Non-revenue producing sports gets its warning

If athletes are deemed employees, Jim Phillips believes universities can pay athletes in sports that make revenue (FB/BSK) and then, to satisfy Title IX, would pay an “equivalent # of female athletes.”
The rest could be cut. “You can go from 28 to 6 sports in one fiscal year.”

As employees, they would also have to start paying taxes on their scholarship.

Good. Let them learn the hard way that the worth of a college scholarship Is more than "zero", and that they should appreciate having the chance to get a free education.

They would go back to being club teams

What about their meal plan, dorms, "free" gear, etc?

The problem is that the majority of the student athletes that will be hurt by this aren’t the same people who were screaming for compensation. Those folks will be fine. The ones who simply wanted to go to school and play a sport will not.

So basically we would be down to football and men's basketball. Then pay around 100 scholarships for female athletes. Softball, basketball.. gymnastics??

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.
They are the non-revenue sports and women.

Pretty much, this was always going to be the case when the Jay Bilas’s of the world started pushing for this. A lot has to be decided full time / seasonal - what kind of employee is the athlete. The poster that said club sports is pretty much spot on I think.

Basketball, softball, gymnastics, swimming. And whatever sports require the skimpiest uniforms/outfits.

The other thing not discussed as often, but university athletics basically subsidize the training for US Olympic programs, and also other countries national teams that have athletes on scholarship.

Hockey would make the cut, as would wrasslin for about 30ish schools.
and college baseball would also make the cut
many donors would increase their money to those programs. Owner of bills fully supports penn st hockey, which is how they became div1 hockey w/o funding a womans team, i believe, or maybe he's stuck funding female hockey also???

Don’t expect your kid to get offered a golf or tennis scholarship, unless they are really, really good. So many of those go to foreign students.
Track and Field is another that sport that colleges subsidizes training for a large number of foreign “student-athletes”.

This may be a stupid question, but is there a way to separate football & basketball from the other sports? As in football/basketball etc. Will be deemed employees of the university but other sports remain amateur and retain their status of student athlete.

Saban made a good point today on this subject. If athletes are deemed employees every state they play they will be required to pay income tax in that state just like NFL,NBA and MLB players.

Baseball is an absolute goner. Mississippi State can't play LSU 35 times a year. There won't be enough teams left to sustain the sport. Hell, football is going to be hard-pressed to survive.

for a large group, donors would be asked to flip the bill
and since majority of cash will go to top 2 sports, donors will have money left to ensure those programs stay around

The non revenue sports are the ones with kids only on partial scholarships. My sport started beginning of September and goes on for another 2-3 weeks. I wouldn't be too far ahead of minimum wage per hour. Your beef isn't with folks getting partial scholarships, unless you're just bitter about your lack of athleticism.
