More on how it goes down

When the non-revs are made a separate department, they will become a university-funded expense. Basketball and football will pay for themselves. The cost of non-revs will become a line item on tuition bills. For schools that already charge a student athletics fee (like U.Va.), that fee will go up. So, parents and students, you will pay more for college. Non-P5 schools already charge athletics fees because their whole athletic programs are essentially non-rev. This will put P5 schools in the same boat regarding non-revs. The "gender equity" stuff will be a battle. The gender equity crowd will want as much pay for women as football and men's basketball players. But only football and men's basketball generate positive revenue to use for salaries. If the gender equity folks win that argument, it's going to be a budgetary mess. Title IX doesn't require paying the women as employees, but that won't stop those advocating for it.

Jim Phillips & Tony Pettiti probably feel like they are playing same game.**
Stech • 05/23/23 11:51 AM ET
I think what you'll see is the main revenue sports stay at varsity level
HokieToph • 05/23/23 11:25 AM ET
So possibly only academic scholarships, but no athletic scholarships?**
Stech • 05/23/23 11:53 AM ET
All non-revenue sports could basically wind up in Division III.**

Yeah that was my question to him and that's what I was thinking, they have
Stech • 05/23/23 01:12 PM ET
Football and basketball players aren't going to want to share the wealth
tarheelblue • 05/23/23 01:22 PM ET
Title IX will be a factor in this**
daveinop • 05/23/23 03:51 PM ET
I have a feeling that the Supreme Court might reinterpret Title IX.
tarheelblue • 05/26/23 02:03 AM ET
Many of the non-revenue athletes aren't on scholarship now, the Stanford's
Stech • 05/23/23 03:27 PM ET
I agree with you on pay division, but no way women's non-revs get cut
LeadingEdge • 05/23/23 01:53 PM ET
Some women's sports will have to get cut too.
tarheelblue • 05/23/23 03:07 PM ET
We'll have to get the ACLU and Title IX to put a stop to all this mess. ; )**
IB4TECH • 05/23/23 04:04 PM ET
for every male scholarship ath. they keep, they will keep a female as well**
daveinop • 05/23/23 03:53 PM ET
But they won't all be paid the same salary. **
tarheelblue • 05/23/23 05:28 PM ET
I think the scholarship $ will remain the same
daveinop • 05/23/23 06:16 PM ET
The men's basketball coach is paid more than the women's basketball coach.
tarheelblue • 05/23/23 06:46 PM ET
Understand your point but not really the same.
daveinop • 05/24/23 06:54 PM ET
The football players will be professionals soon, and probably not students.**
tarheelblue • 05/24/23 08:45 PM ET
could be; and that would be disappointing**
daveinop • 05/26/23 09:31 AM ET
People used to say the same thing about professionals being in the Olympics**
tarheelblue • 05/31/23 05:38 PM ET
Yep, and it’s based on viewer/fan demand which allows for higher
RJHokie • 05/23/23 06:58 PM ET
Which is why NIL $$$ varies tho scholarships are all the same.**
daveinop • 05/24/23 06:57 PM ET
I assume that many athletic programs will be cut..

They're going to ask for a commensurate rate, not an equal total amount

Before you separate the rev's from the non-rev's it may be useful to
33laszlo99 • 05/23/23 01:46 PM ET
Why would all football players be paid the same?
tarheelblue • 05/23/23 03:13 PM ET
Professional sports leagues have congressional exclusion from antitrust
33laszlo99 • 05/23/23 10:33 PM ET
MLB is the only professional sports league that has an antitrust exemption.
tarheelblue • 05/24/23 05:02 PM ET
I think you are talking student athletes here, not just football. **
