You’ll just sit in your porch swing and yell for them to stop trampling your flower beds.
 
J Batt alluded to it this morning, but college football is about to take its next big step. If the House v. NCAA settlement is finalized, starting next Fall schools will be able to pay student athletes from a ~$20M+ pool each year as part of a revenue sharing program.

Overnight you are going to have a line in the sand for schools that can either fully fund the $20M+ as well as all football scholarships (105, up from 85) and those who cannot. Likely, schools will also need a heavy sprinkling of NIL money on top.

My question becomes how will schools handle the new cap? Should freshmen get a signing bonus? Do starters get a bigger share? Do you spend big on a franchise player? And do only football and basketball players get paid?

If you were to spread the cap money evenly across just football (105) and basketball (15) that would be equal to $167k/year (plus a full ride scholarship) per player.

The thing is, the $20 million is distributed across all sports, including Title IX. So that’s when the next round of lawsuits will come out as it relates to “it’s not fair” between the revenue vs non-revenue sports. Athlete B,C from sports outside of football, hoops whining about how much Athlete A (football, hoops) is making.

This will also cause schools to cancel non-revenue and some revenue sports. Not every school will have the $$$ to continue on as is right now.

So that’s where the dinosaur ACC deal is going to completely hinder the current members, while the B1G and sec will not feel the pinch with their new TV deals in place.

Title IX probably needs to be relitigated. It was passed on the assumption that universities were patriarchal institutions. It’s a relic of a bygone era. Females now outnumber male students at the undergrad level, at law schools, and at medical schools. STEM programs remain the lone exception, and Laurence Tribe was forced out as Harvard president for merely questioning that discrimination explains that one exception to female majorities in academia. The notion that universities are patriarchal in any meaningful way is ludicrous. Let activists force fairness arguments. It’s a fight worth having.
