I wonder how many schools would choose to shut down sports programs instead
of paying players. Does Dartmouth make much on its Basketball program? Outside of football and mens basketball, it seems that most teams are not profitable, and even men's basketball is not a big profit maker if they make a profit at all for most schools. It also seems to me that Title 9 was partially built on the concept that the revenue generating sports would help pay for the other required teams. Does Title 9 need to be revisited if the money is being spent to pay the players in the revenue generating sports instead? Plus competition for top players will cause salaries given to players to eat up athletic revenue if the school wants to be competitive. For some schools bringing in P2 level money they can afford all of this, but most schools do not fit this situation. I can see a lot of lower level schools having to be exempted from these requirements or they will just drop most or all sports, which will be unfortunate for students looking for athletic scholarship to pay for college.

The NRLB is not responsible for ensuring that sports make a profit.
