Title IX applies to revenue sharing per DOE

Is it going to matter when you reclassify as a semi professional sports league?

Title IX is such a stupid and regressive law, but can't believe any school could possibly be blindsided by this.

Fun fact. The college graduation gender gap is now bigger than when title 9 was passed. It’s just the other way now.

This would accelerate that and leave women’s sports in a way worse spot than they are now.

Once football seperates all other sports will suffer.

I bet they take men’s basketball as well. The tournament is a cash cow.

Should be based on revenue each sport brings for the university. If your sport costs the university money then you don’t get shit.

You should tell that to whoever came up with Title 9. I'm certain they will agree and change it.

 

[Stan Raymond]

It won't stick. It's revenue share not financial aid. Women's sports account for very little revenue compared to football and Men's basketball. There was going to be a court fight about it eventually, but no way will the 20.5 revenue share be split even between men and women and it shouldn't, it should go to the players that generate the funds that the whole athletic department runs on.

You disagree?

This was my first thought, too. Seems short sighted by Ed. Them forcing this to happen in the long run will ensure that the sport separates from the schools and when that happens the funds for women sports evaporates. There is definitely a doom and gloom scenario with this event.

But I could also see the courts shooting it down. It feels like a shit sport and lady tax on actual revenue generating athletes. And it’s like a 500% tax.

Good

This is a dumb take if you really think this.

Virtually every move by modern university & DOE bureaucrats has been short-sighted.

University system would have already more or less collapsed without the cash cows of athletics, federal research grants, feds taking over & underwriting all student loans, and endowments being allowed to run as tax shelters.

Now the pain point hits, because women make up an absurd percentage of college students and generate lots of subsidy money, but cost a crap ton in athletics/reduce resources for revenue generating sports.

 

[Huskers12392]

The DOE language reads that they deem the revenue share payments as “athlete financial assistance”.

Can the university get around this if the players were to collectively bargain and become employees who sign employment contracts?

Certainly other issues arise with this; but I see this as a potential solution.

 

[trueluk]

I'm pretty sure this is what the university was expecting. I know over a year ago, when Turd was still here, Nebraska was already planning on paying every athlete (all sports, male & female) a bit more than $20k per year.

I agree this will more harmful to women's sports than helpful. ADs aren't going to pay all athletes the same as football players and shouldn't.
