Football and basketball players aren't going to want to share the wealth

They will want to be paid their full value based on the amount of revenue they bring in. Which means there won't be anything left over to pay all of the non-revenue athletes. And can you blame them? Why would football players want to subsidize the salaries for field hockey or lacrosse players? If the courts do what we are all thinking they will do, then all non-revenue sports will either have to be dropped completely or will be played by non-scholarship student athletes who just want to play on the university's team because they enjoy it.

Jim Phillips & Tony Pettiti probably feel like they are playing same game.**

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.**

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.

Many of the non-revenue athletes aren't on scholarship now, the Stanford's

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..

The NLRB is attempting to gain jurisdiction over athletes at state schools
RoswellGAHokie • 05/23/23 10:09 AM ET
More on how it goes down
LeadingEdge • 05/23/23 09:56 AM ET
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

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. **
