It will. When they rule that they are employees, all costs is going up too.

And interesting enough any university that receives any federal money, which is basically all, the employees at those universities fall under the ruling of Title 9. So, if/when the athletes become employees of the universities the same rules for fairness for women in college sports now under Title 9 will be applied to those same athletes who become employees.

You will see more male sport get dropped overall to ensure proper Title 9 fairness for female athletes. Remember now most Title 9 requirements are met via the number of scholarships given out. Why some schools do not offer certain sports for men. Once they become employed it will be a lot harder to meet that requirement when salaries will need to be distributed in a fair manner under Title 9. Unless the universities separate football athletes as non-student athletes and only classify them as employees.
