House settlement troubles

Well evidently the federal government issued a memo today that says a school has to split the revenue sharing equally between male and female sports. So if that holds, Clemson and others are in trouble as tbey will not have the money they thought for football.

1. The Biden admin directed this. Trump can overturn it at 12:01 EST on Monday.

2. The wording is that the House settlement revenue must be distributed "proportionately".

What that means is debatable.
If a 50/50 split, the plaintiffs can reject the settlement and litigate to or even more money.

If it's proportionate to the revenue each sport generates, football will get tfe lion's share and it won't affect our FB team much.

That's not how I interpret it. I see it as the 20.5 million must be divided equally so that all athletes male and female have the same opportunity at payment. Or in this case financial assistance for a student athlete. If this stands, yes football would get more because tbey would have 105 players versus other sports. But if this stands I could see where every player ( starter or 3rd stringer) could challenge how much they get. Each player could legally demand the same amount. So with 105 players dived say 15 million would not help Clemson attract big time players as planned??

Title IX states financial assistance must match the gender ratio of the general student population at a given university. The memo today stated that it's their position that the house settlement revenue share is financial assistance and must follow the same guidelines. So if 60% of your students are female then 60% or $12.3M should be distributed to female athletes. Scholarships too; adding 20 football Scholarships means you'll have to eliminate 20 Scholarships in other male sports or add more female Scholarships to maintain the ratio.
At Clemson female students hold a slight majority; so, if this guidance holds, more than half of the rev share would have to go to female athletes.

Yep. If this stands Clemson will be paying out more money, but not closing tbe gap as planned. But in reality the thought that 1 player gets 3 million and another gets 150k, never made sense. But I get some are more valuable or impactful than others. This NIL is gonna cost college athletics thier existence.

True equity would be allowing the athletes who actually earned the revenue to receive it in return. However left wing politicians never fail to screw up everything they touch, hence the Biden administration's decision. Luckily for the rest of us the idiots will no longer be in charge in a few days so this most likely won't stand.

People who throw around this "It's capitalism" argument don't understand capitalism, or economics, for that matter.

The underlying issue is that the schools are trying to run an extracurricular activity for students as a business. You can't be a little bit pregnant. You either have to be one or the other.

College Football was alot more enjoyable when a student went to a college and attended class with the hope of attaining a degree and if they got lucky , they were good enough to make whatever their career and go pro.

Now, the coaches (who are actual professionals) are being exploited as the athletes who are supposed to be amateur athletes, are making more money than those who decided to make coaching college football their actual profession.

Hopefully, in the future, the slavery that currently exist with exploiting coaches for the athletes benefit will soon be righted.

I seems the original reading was that the revenue sharing money could be distributed based on the sports contribution to the schools revenue. This did not take Title IX into account as that specifically addressed Scholarships. With the new "guidance" stating Title IX applies to all shared revenue there will probably have to be Congressional action or legal action to clarify this. The schools can ignore the "guidance " or take their chances.

Like an attorney said about an Attorney General Opinion on a particular law, "Everybody has an opinion, the Attorney General just publishes his!"

If they are students then the pay can be regulated by title IX as financial assistance for a perspective student. If they are employees like the supreme court decision basically proclaimed then title IX doesnt apply anymore. The pay is then not financial assistance anymore, it is compensation and should be determined on a per contract basis like any other employment opportunity at the university.

Unfortunately this will never have the affect that these politicians think it will. You think football school brings in tens, if not hundrends of millions of dollars for School X and they're just going to pay the female athlete a "fair" amount? No, they will just end up eliminating half the women's sports so there's more money for football and men's basketball players to make. Goodbye swimming and diving, goodbye gymnastics, goodbye tennis, etc.

My thoughts exactly. Schools will cut almost all Olympic sports. Tbey must offer the same amount to males and females. So Clemson would keep Football, Both basketball teams, baseball, softball, and women's lacrosse. They rest might get scrapped? You could then use the numbers alone to give Football a bigger picture. Based on the number of scholarship athletes? This NIL is ending college sports. The only other way around it it is to make them merit based employees and cut scholarships. The cost of education would be figured into said athletes agreed upon yearly salary. Some kids pay will be just enough to cover tuition, books,housing, and food. They would of course have access to free on campus medical based on employment. Just change the words don't call it scholarships but call it compensation. All would be year to year. It's legal politics. So play the game.

equal pay to make up for it. No, wait, NIL funds are contracts with individuals so those players with a dangle will still get most of the money.

Don't get me wrong, Imo folks should be paid what they earn so I've no conflict with giving the guys playing women's sport getting fatter paychecks. They are far better equipted to succeed in many of the girl's teams.

I'm just pointing out that the last biggest thing was paying women equal to me, which imo is not fair nor practical. That's not how politicians think. They are facing a moral delemmia which, even though I believe to be foolish, contradicts their previous motivations to dabble in with the market and do more dammage than good. Like always:

Put a group of politicians in a room with an anvil and they will tear it up or lose it.
