The Education Department has already said payment to athletes as revenue sharing will not be subject to Title IX requirements. So that should be good for the next four years.

At a place like Xavier, where there’s no football but solid men’s and women’s hoops and a pretty even mix of other sports, the Title IX stuff gets tricky fast. Once the school’s cutting checks — and especially if we’re moving from 1099s to W-2s — it’s not just NIL anymore, it’s official compensation. That means gender equity rules kick in, and schools are gonna have to watch how they spread that money around.The women are going to be hugely benefited by donors wanting to pay male basketball players .

The threat to universities in regard to TitileIX legislation is the having federal funds cut off because of the government determining that the university is not adhering to government policies. The PRIOR administration of the Department of Education said that it would lean toward including the payments to athletes in T9 considerations. The CURRENT administration says that they won’t.

Not sure any of it really matters, the big football schools will break off and create their own rules at some point and their revenue advantage will make it impossible for schools without major football programs to compete with them.

Yup.

The power players always find a way to sway things to their advantage. That's what money does.

I wish they would have a long time ago. That would have avoided a lot of this in terms of the gigantic mega conferences and things like the pac dissolving, and ucla/usc and Oregon being in the big ten.

I agree. I wish they already had. However, I do think that when they do they probably take most of the Tv money with them.

You are correct what the prior and current administrations said about Title 1X. But what they said applied to payments from collectives. The issue is when the payments come directly from the university not a third party collective ( if you believe they are independent. ). Once payments start from the university they can’t hide behind a collective and the courts will decide.

[GoMuskies]

That's incorrect.

I don’t think that it’s all just collective (the final 2%) money here. My guess that schools are moving forward with the idea that the legal settlement will be approved and that they will be able to pay the players directly from athletic department revenue, along with whatever it is that the collective raises. These totals are based on what a player will make over the course of the agreement, they are not lump payments. In the past the payments have been made on a monthly basis. I’ve no idea exactly when the payments begin, or when they end, either. My guess is that they begin when the players enroll in school and end when they no longer enrolled. But that’s just a guess.

I don’t think so. It would be pretty shocking for X to make financial commitments to players hoping something happens that may or may not happen. Plus I don’t think the 5 mil number is far off what we have been paying which would only have been in NIL

Skillings to Baylor? What has happened to Baylor?
