It's an advisory opinion, it's not even a law
But it doesn't matter because sooner or later women athletes will file suit when a school sends literally all of their athletic funding towards men's football and basketball.
Exactly. The article references the Bay area lawyer who's filed a lot of similar lawsuits for women in sports. If there's money to be made, the suits will be filed. And this is a very big, and deep pile of moolah.
I can see both sides of this argument. If you think about the payment as the university paying athletes for their work like employees then it would seem unfair to not pay all athletes. If you deem the payment as the university reimbursing athletes who the university has made money from then it doent make sense to pay all athletes. I personally feel like the ncaa has already screwed this up past the point of being rectified without litigation or laws being created. Many of these athletes are being paid well above their value to the university through the current nil system in the revenue sports. If they try to create a system where the university does some sort ofvrevenue share it will just end up in court so dont do it.
Tie the revenue sharing to a percentage of the ticket and concessions sales. Maybe even 100% of it. Fund the rest of the AD with the TV money.
But this issue is probably headed to SCOTUS.
It seems crazy universities are laying off people to pay kids who most of whom dont contribute to the revenues that are gained through mens football and basketball. You could argue that in many cases the players benefit more from the exposure of playing for a large university whos every game is televised than the university.
Sad but true. Universities are laying off employees and cutting employee wages in order to pay athletes who have zero loyalty to the university
I actually think that would be hilarious if these obscure female athletes make as much off revenue sharing as the football and men’s basketball players. Even though they’re actually a drain on every single athletic department.
The vast majority of athletic programs men and women are a drain.
Sometimes even men's basketball is a drain at some schools.
