re: According to Wolken, among the PAC-12 players’ demands is 50% of the league’s revenue

I don’t think you understand what Title IX is. You can’t adjust an equal opportunity law to provide for inequity depending on what sport you play or it no longer serves to provide equal opportunity. You either provide equal opportunity for all college athletes or you don’t. And you keep talking about gross revenue. Most schools don’t have a net revenue of 6 million dollars. The only way to increase their net revenue would be to cut expenses. They’re not going to cut expenses for basketball or football, so your end result would be getting rid of other sports, which is why I asked if you’d be ok with thousands of athletes across the country losing the opportunity to go to college.

I have read the text of T9 multiple times, the Law has morphed away from its intended goals

Once upon a Time on College campuses, a Woman that wanted to major in Math or Engineering had to use the restroom in another Bldg because the math or Emgr bldg had no ladies restrooms because women weren't supposed to major in such things

So along came T9 that gave Women in College EQUAL ACCESS TO FACILITIES

The theory behind T9 in Athletics was that if you have an Arena then the Women's Basketball Team had to have equal access to that facility for their sport, if you had a baseball Facility for baseball you had to build the Women a comparable Softball Facility

T9 started about 70 or 71 by the time the Mid 80s rolled around the CFA lawsuits combined with the explosion in Cable TV (this put between 100-200 channels in each home) took the TV Money away from the NCAA and gave it to the Conferences and ultimately to the Schools

With this explosion in TV Revenues T9 morphed from "equal access to Facilities" to let the Majority Black Athletes raise Millions of Dollars and we'll transfer the wealth to T9 Sports, you see in theory once T9 Sports had equal access to Facilities they were supposed to make their own Money and not become permanent welfare recipients

If you actually READ the text of the Title IX Laws nowhere will you read anything about 1 group making the Money and then have the AD transfer it to T9 sports

That's why I mention T9 being adjusted, T9 has morphed beyond what it was intended to be, this has happened with Laws before
