That's the problem with finding a solution. If there's an "enhanced educational benefit" for a football merit scholarship athlete, Title IX statute would require the same "enhanced educational benefit" to a bowling merit scholarship athlete.

I'm no expert, but that's not my understanding
Put it another way. You can't give male athletes a monthly cost of attendance stipend of $10k while giving female athletes $1k.
ok, yeah. male : female equity is much closer to my understanding than football : bowling equity wrt to IX
Bowling is a women's sport. I thought that was baked into my statement.
ah, ok. I didn't know that
The proposal includes all women’s athletes. The schools would have to pay A MINIMUM of $30,000 to EACH scholarship athlete. It could be more but $30k is the minimum.
But a school could pay $100k each if they so choose. So the schools with the most money would dominate.
To me, if schools opted to be in this subdivision all schools would have to agree on a number that all schools would pay whether it is $30k or $50k or whatever.
Then get rid of these collectives and all school/booster involvement in NIL. Let athletes have agents or reps to broker legitimate NIL deals.
Precisely. This model would most certainly create fewer non-rev sports. The schools would just cut them (for men and women).
Well, there are NCAA minimums on sports programs a school can have and remain D1, right? I think CU currently is at that minimum, so they cannot eliminate any programs.

NIL is a major issue for non-revenue-producing sports. Title IX is going to throw a major wrench for plans centered on regulating NIL. If the institutions themselves get more involved in the actual facilitation of deals and even agree to a central organization for regulation, lawsuits for Title IX become easier to bring. Everyone is playing chicken in the hope everyone else will swerve away.
Oregon is already facing a T9 lawsuit over NIL. I don't know details, but read somewhere that a huge concern is that what was mandated by NIL is contradictory in places with what was mandated by T9. So there are some things that remain unsettled.
Yeah. That is what I was wondering. Personally, I think there needs to be an agreed upon “management” system of some sort, including rules and rule enforcement. Law and order!!
That is another curveball not even discussed
The schools, conferences, and the NCAA are dancing around that in order to hopefully avoid it
They won’t be able to do that if they want to get caps instituted.
Yep. Once players get legally defined as employees, there better be a union with which they can collectively bargain. Otherwise, they can't have uniform rules which govern who is eligible to be an employee and the terms of employment. That's handled in pro leagues by making it so only union members can be employees and then the unions restrict membership by age and have other terms that the league could not do on its own.
I hate how "X" cuts off the bottom of embedded tweets now.
That dude got dunked on hard
Buff fans in that twitter thread today do not disappoint.
Bless his heart!
