might be the only viable approach

if whatever league(s) that come about aren't competitive, there is no product to sell. at that point you fold up the tent.

Judge sending House case agreement back for rework
PadrosWindup • 09/05/24 11:45 PM ET
I don't understand...can you opt out of this mess?
VictoryTurkey • 09/07/24 08:00 AM ET
Or make all collegiate sports DIII. Or like club sports.**
Atlee Hokie • 09/10/24 01:00 PM ET
Schools may have to no longer offer athletic scholarships and/or give up

Thanks for the update. Very interesting.**
jboyhokie • 09/06/24 01:06 PM ET
The judge kicked the legs out from under the value proposition the NCAA was
LeadingEdge • 09/06/24 12:19 AM ET
Yep. She correctly pointed out trying to pull back something the players
Femoyer Hokie • 09/06/24 07:12 AM ET
the problem is they will still be eligible for NIL, etc.
daveinop • 09/07/24 11:22 AM ET
True. But why is that a problem?**
Femoyer Hokie • 09/07/24 11:35 AM ET
the problem I'm referring to
daveinop • 09/08/24 01:48 PM ET
Have fun when they strike.
VPI 1924 • 09/06/24 03:27 PM ET
it's only a matter of time before it all goes over the edge**
HokieAl • 09/06/24 04:24 PM ET
That might actually be a good thing in the long run.**
FrederickHokie • 09/07/24 01:31 PM ET
If players do become employees, then could the eligibility window be the
VTHokie2000 • 09/06/24 12:59 PM ET
One can hope. I'd love to see Cartoons Plural in a VT uniform for life. TIC**
MP4VT2004 • 09/06/24 10:08 PM ET
That’s an ugly creature **
VPI 1924 • 09/07/24 01:19 PM ET
I doubt they'd be students any longer if they became employees.
Pylons • 09/06/24 06:28 PM ET
might be the only viable approach ◄
daveinop • 09/06/24 12:57 PM ET
I wonder when the really important questions will be answered
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/06/24 10:11 AM ET
I think the answer to Title IX sets the stage to answer the others
Vienna_Hokie • 09/07/24 06:22 AM ET
Why would Title IX apply to "Employees..."?
Strider2 • 09/06/24 05:40 PM ET
Because Title IX is about gender equity in general at
Pylons • 09/06/24 06:34 PM ET
Title IX requires that funding is distributed in a way that creates equal
33laszlo99 • 09/06/24 06:13 PM ET
Would love to see that
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/07/24 02:53 PM ET
Title IX actually never even mentions sports.**
Pylons • 09/06/24 06:29 PM ET
It also doesn't say anything about scholarships or require equal numbers
Vienna_Hokie • 09/11/24 03:53 PM ET
Equitable, not equal.
Pylons • 09/11/24 04:21 PM ET
I've never read Title IX, Pylons. My only interest in it is how it comes
33laszlo99 • 09/06/24 10:00 PM ET
It also wouldn't require that every athlete be paid the same
Pylons • 09/07/24 10:27 AM ET
My original idea for equal pay across the board was to avoid the impossible
33laszlo99 • 09/09/24 08:38 PM ET
I get the simplicity goal........
2hhoop3 • 09/09/24 09:37 PM ET
The possibility of successfully evaluating the payment deserved by each
33laszlo99 • 09/10/24 12:03 PM ET
Agreed.......
2hhoop3 • 09/10/24 12:09 PM ET
I hear you...certainly nice in theory, but
Pylons • 09/09/24 09:22 PM ET
Right. If this becomes the solution, it will be because "the players" will
33laszlo99 • 09/10/24 11:56 AM ET
True. None of those things happens until this case is decided is the way
