Just got in from a luncheon (oooh fancy) where Pres of Wofford spoke on

The state of collegiate athletics.

I don’t feel like typing all the interesting stuff he has to say but if all the stuff in the pipeline goes through, all non power 4 conference athletic programs are skewed. The big guys are screwed too, just not quite as hard.

One I was not aware of was that the back pay for NIL only goes to former athletes from power 5 schools but all members of the NCAA have to pay. For Wofford that comes to $270,000 a year for 10 years to go to players that didn’t play at Wofford. They already operate at a loss, if it goes through, it would cripple their athletic program.
