Why should football and men’s hoops care?
They fund everything anyway
Why should football players have to support all sports?

Women’s hoops is nothing but a drain on the men’s sports
Women’s teams lose millions every year


Because Federal law under Title 9 says women sports have to happen in order to give scholarships for men sports. The same logic will be applied for university employees.

Then that means scholarships for football (the real cash cows) will go away leaving teams consisting of more walk-ons than ever before, and a few elite players who pay for their tuition through NIL.

States with laws that allow high school students to partake in NIL will benefit most since prospective recruits can nail down a deal or two before they ever step foot on a college campus.

While I agree with the Supreme Court decision on NIL, it may have the side effect of finally giving the NFL a reason to start farm club teams consisting of players straight out of high school who have no interest in getting a college degree.

Title IX was an equality ruling rather than a gender ruling.

The salaries beyond the scholarship guarantees do not have to be equal. With Title IX, only the basic scholarship has to be of equal value.

Just like in MLB, no two employment contracts are exactly alike because the employee has to agree to the terms. Even with a union base figure, each player has to be offered a compensation package that reflects their potential value to the organization.
