[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3345734, member: 16969"] The proposal seems to distinguish between the basic scholarship trust fund and the NIL deals. I don't see how they can include NIL deals in Title IX, which relates to academic opportunities. There's no way to keep the big football schools within the NCAA structure without triggering Title IX on scholarship costs and direct monetary compensation for enrollment, but it would be madness to force schools to pretend that the name and image of an obscure female swimmer is equal in market value to that of their starting quarterback. Schools don't pay professors, grounds staff, or vendors equally by gender or any other criteria. Why should they pay students who are representing the institution's image in the public eye equally? We'll see, I guess. At $30K/yr. for at least half your athletes, the basic entry cost is going to be around $3-5M, then you can add on NIL deals for your football and basketball players from there. I think Big 12 schools including TCU are at an obvious disadvantage, but I don't think it's insurmountable. Right now you've got millions being spent on things that make no sense because it's been forbidden to play players directly. We're not actually talking about new money here, we're talking about redirecting it from stupid places, like the pockets of coaches and administrators (especially in sports no one cares about) to the players in the two sports everyone loves. We can do that. [/QUOTE]
