He'll do great at next year's Liberty Bowl.





Kidding of course.





We probably won't win six games.

This will throw a great big wrench into most schools plans.  Not surprised but the whole situation is FUBAR.

Some of the article: 

The plans that many major college athletic departments are making for how they will distribute new direct payments to their athletes would violate Title IX law, according to a memo published by the U.S. Department of Education on Thursday.
The memo provides some long-awaited guidance about how gender equity laws will apply to a new era of college sports that is on track to begin this summer. It's not clear if the Department of Education will interpret Title IX law the same way when incoming President Donald Trump's administration installs new officials in the near future.
The NCAA and its power conferences have agreed to allow each school to share up to $20.5 million in direct payments to its athletes via name, image and likeness deals as one of the terms of a pending antitrust settlement. Many schools from those power conferences have developed plans to distribute the majority of that money to athletes in sports that generate the most revenue -- mostly football and men's basketball players.

In some cases, athletic directors have publicly shared that they intend to provide upward of 75% of that money to their football players.
However, the Office for Civil Rights -- the division of the Department of Education that enforces Title IX law -- said in its memo Thursday that those future payments should be considered "athletic financial assistance" and therefore must be shared proportionally between men and women athletes.
"When a school provides athletic financial assistance in forms other than scholarships or grants, including compensation for the use of a student-athlete's NIL, such assistance also must be made proportionately available to male and female athletes," the memo said

Wondered when Civil Rights would rear its head on this. If I was a male athlete, I'd sue to keep all of the money among males. Their argument that they produce all the money is true. Why let them take from you?

The Woopig brain trust has been calling this for a while now.  The lesbians have to get their cut one way or the other.

It seems like common sense that more expense should be allocated towards the sports that actually produce the revenue, but this is the government we're talking about.

What's the workaround. School "sponsored" athletic departments that aren't actually part of the school? Sell RRS to Wal-Mart Tyson JV and let them hire thyou coaches and players away into a private corporation?

[Usafhawg]

I thought the schools weren't allowed to be "associated" with NIL payments and that was how they were going to get around Title IX?

You would likely have to end athletic scholarships.  Give them revenue sharing to pay for their school. 

Even then I doubt it would work.  Some enterprising lawyers would see it for the workaround it is and find a favorable judge to take it all down.

So, if I'm Joe College and I have a NIL deal for MY "name, image, likeness" I gotta share it with the girls on the basketball program or Julian on the soccer team? It's my name, image, likeness that's being profited from not anyone else's.

Because that's not what it is any more. If Joe College truly has unilateral NIL deals with private companies, that's not subject to Title IX.

If Joe College is getting paid for being a football player through the university in any way, then that's not NIL and Title IX is invoked.

It's all a stupid bunch of shit that has ruined college athletics (Title IX also). Like someone else mentioned in one of the two threads, the only money solution is semi-pro teams unaffiliated with universities. But as someone else mentioned, a bunch of superior athletes playing as the NWA Badass Hogs in the new Walmart Stadium, will never have the brand equity or following of THEEEESE are your Arkansas RAYYYYYYZORBACKS.

The portal must be racist or something.  The next two-way Travis Hunter-type player is going to play for both teams in the same drive.

If this shit continues, "college" football will have to take a break to sort this shit out. It is getting out of hand already.

A premier league is inevitable at this point. The NFL can kiss their cheap farm league goodbye.

Very easy solution.  Just have half the football team identify as Trans-Female and give all the money to the football, would work out 50-50 and solve the problem.  I mean, that is where we are heading anyway with this trans shit, "Gender" means nothing when it comes to title IX when you can change yours. 

Hell, half our football team played like bitches anyway so it wouldn't be a hard sell.
