Trump is probably going to throw almost all of this out in two weeks

but if not, the House Settlement is pretty much cooked

I deeply wish the Dartmouth basketball team ended up unionizing bc it seems like players are gonna get screwed in any future deal with the NCAA

Honestly someone like Tuberville probably loves this since it reads like something that would severely dampen people's enthusiasm to give to NIL. SEC probably LOVES this.

wonder why they didn't do this one at the big signing on National Girls and Women in Sports Day?

heyitsty3.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don’t get it. This makes it seem like they don’t care about women’s sports at all.

Oh…

Man they are cynical.

Guidance from the Department of Education is just that -- "guidance"

It does not have the force of law and schools will have to make an independent judgment on compliance

Expect to see female athletes filing lawsuits alleging the Title IX requires pay equality, and nothing DOE can do to stop that

alexkirshner.com•43 days ago

fwiw i have no idea how this "guidance" is supposed to work. not a lawyer or anything but it's beyond me how schools can be responsible for third-party collectives steering equal dollar amounts to men and women. if that is the case, i can think of a few hundred collectives that violate title ix

For a piece I worked on with a team at USA Today on T9 at 50, I interviewed Josh Heird and we talked about booster $$ creating unequitable athletic experiences for men and women athletes and he said, "“I think that's one of the hardest parts of college athletics as a whole." This has been a thing.

jessicawluther.com•43 days ago

I don't know that's there any answer to this still. I think schools mainly operate out of compliance.

jessicawluther.com•43 days ago

The T9 expert I asked about this then (which wasn't about NIL to be clear), said, "As soon as a school allows for that benefit to be passed along to its student athletes, it is required to make sure that it provides an equitable experience.” https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2022/03/30/title-ix-50th-anniversary-women-short-changed-major-college-sports/7090806001/

no doubt. and this specifically is gonna be a big tension point between a gender justice issue and racial justice issue. not paying the football players is a pretty big problem. of course, continuing to treat women's sports second class is too

This all ends with private football clubs licensing university trademarks, leasing university facilities, and entering into contracts with players.

Which is probably where we should have been a while ago!

The only real solution is for the schools to spin off football teams(and eventually basketball) into private companies the schools own.

optimisticdoomer.bsky.social•43 days ago

As much as I think Title IX is important, I really don't understand how this is supposed to work. I guess if the school runs a NIL collective, then all the revenue must be distributed evenly, but I thought NIL collectives weren't necessarily associated with the school?

heyitsty3.bsky.social•43 days ago

This is objectively nonsense.

I get saying that Title IX means funds directly from the school must comply, but if the Supreme Court says they’re free to market themselves, and the market brings one set of players more than another, it is what it is.

darrencohen.me•43 days ago

Isn't a big part of the money going to be rev share? That is not NIL.

alexkirshner.com•43 days ago

yes; that falls under this too

darrencohen.me•43 days ago

Right..... I never understood how that part was not going to fall under Title IX. Schools announcing 20M payouts with 13 for football, 4 for men's basketball... and the rest split was a big red flag.

gghofman.bsky.social•42 days ago

my thinking exactly

deaconbluesagain.bsky.social•43 days ago

Follow the money. I think this is the “Big Boys” looking for a basis to get Congress to help them “reign in” NIL

When this is over ALL College Athletes are going to suffer and the “Big Boys” will get back in control of the mint
