Maybe Tech will drop sports like golf, tennis, volleyball, swimming/diving, lacrosse, cross country and even track and field and soccer in order to pay athletes in the sports they feel they can succeed at like wrestling, softball and baseball (mainly because of the investment in the ball park)? It would come down to how many full athletic scholarships Tech could afford. I'm sure Tech would try to save the Olympic sports programs that they feel have the best chance of bringing deep runs into the post season and bringing the school national recognition. Tech would also have to consider Title IX which will make the deletion/saving process even more difficult. I'm sure the SEC and Big Ten would be able to pay all their athletes but it would take money away from their beloved football programs. Most of the non-Power 2 conferences would have to make cuts in sponsored athletic programs. Wealthier schools like UVA, Stanford and Notre Dame have the money to provide full scholarships.
