One of the Legal Bureaucrats Representing the Players Said Cutting Sports

as I way to trim monetary losses would attempt to be regulated in upcoming court decisions. I have quit reading those Linked Articles on this board on that subject. I tired of reading all those threats by those lawsuit wild player's attorneys. However I read about three of those long articles. One said that about disallowing cutting sports. Most sports do lose money. Football makes the big money. Basketball & baseball surely support themselves on the P4 scale. Maybe not baseball in the B1G. However the rest all just lose money for a college that carries them. As these expenditures mount in these abounding player's lawsuits. One could see all the P4 conferences cutting all men's sports but those Three. Then pairing those three with three women's sports to avoid Title IX litigation. Those six sports would be the whole shebang. Can the requirement for more sports be litigated as that lawsuit happy Player's attorney implied? I don't know. However when we get to that stage.Bankruptcy is probably just around the corner.

Rosters will be cut and some sports too IMHO, but I hope not. Athletes

If they want a salary cap on players, it works for coaches as well. **

Coaches are going to be unionized too?

It wasn't a serious post, but you got my point. **

Based on $30,000 per year, per athlete, using numbers from 2022-'23**
