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

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

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**

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

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. **
