    Ironically, I think the financial aspects of running a professional sports program will ultimately reduce opportunities for post-HS athletes.

    The NCAA transfer rule ( sitting out a year) is officially dead.

    Can't wait for guys to transfer between games, I mean stopping them from doing that must be illegal right?

    Quite comical to imagine a scenario where a player starts a game playing for one team and ends it playing for the opposing team.

    Title 9 lawsuits coming when women not given same pay as men for playing college sports

    Think some lesser programs really struggle now. Will be the wealthiest teams that win, which will likely cause some fans to lose interest and many college sports that are unprofitable to be eliminated. Can see quite a few AD losing money. If more people eliminate cable in numbers from last few years, may not be future TV revenue to support the many teams already losing money. The arms race, football coaching salaries, player pay, … going to kill sports for quite a few colleges.

    It's been that way for a long time. The current landscape is nothing more than a continuation of that theme.

    Yep, and now they're getting paid more than the Men (and they should be considering their accomplishments and that they are more popular than the Men's US team). Either Title IX gets blown up somehow or there will be lawsuits all across the environment. It'll be a $#itshow for sure.

    Do the WNBA players get the same as NBA? Women's soccer gets more than the men, maybe the men should sue so they get the same. Isn't that what Title 9 did, make sure the women get the same amount of scholarships as men?

    The men’s World Cup no matter who is playing generates way more money on the men’s side. I’m not sure how that worked out for them.

    Looks like the men’s team generated four times more money than the women’s and the Us decided to split their money evenly. Only in America

    If you throw out the year's where the host nation automatically gets an entry into the World Cup, how many times have the US Men even qualified? Not many. On the other hand the Women's team has qualified every year, been deep into the competition most years, and actually have won the whole thing. I'm not saying the Men's World Cup doesn't generate more viewership, it does, but the US Men's team hasn't benefited from it much since they have rarely even been competitive in the event. The Women's team has been head and shoulders better than the Men's team since the inception of the Women's World Cup.

    It’s not secret that we suck. It’s also no secret that the World Cup last cut the men a check for 110 million and the women got a check for 30. Pretty sure some lib math made them split the money.

    Title 9 has propped that up through the support of football for years. While that may hold true for schools with major football programs, all these money drag sports that a minority of fans watch still exist somehow. There are sports programs everywhere without tge support of football.. There are already proven systems in place. There can be soccor without football. They can play volleyball too without a football team. It’s being done as we speak at many schools without a football team writing a check for Sally to play volleyball.

    The 1902 Princeton Tiger football team was called the National champs in football. None of the players are alive. However many of their grandchildren, great and great-great grandchildren still are. Even though the NCAA did not exist in 1902, they are responsible for the loss in income for that 1902 team. Thus, by its mere existence after 1902 the NCAA has been negligent in not forking over money plus interest to the heirs. The approved 789 heirs to those players just sued the NCAA for $8.45 Trillion.

    The suit was filed in San Francisco County and has been assigned to Judge Marthamatt Wall-Heim Jane-Obu Hinney Buttrick, formerly known as Judy Jones-Catnip. She/He/It/Them happens to be married to Tig Buttrick, a real live Bengal Tiger.
