Get ready for cuts in the number of players on non revenue college teams

because they need to pay players. This will happen to both Men’s and Women’s teams, but the Men’s will be cut more if they have a football team, due to Title IX. A very close colleague said a D1 non revenue head coach told him and others in the group, this was a done deal and they would cut the number of players by about 30%. I have said for a while, I was concerned, but I hoped they would find ways to keep the team number of players up, but just drop the number of scholarships, but that doesn’t jive with what was announced today. It looks like if you are on a scholarship or not, you have to be paid. ** Edited by Stech at 6/27/2024, 11:02:13 PM
