Title 9 should be eliminated"? It's a Federal LAW, not a NCAA rule.Who decides which 8 sports get cut? Nothing to do with being triggered. This is just dumb, none of it will ever happen.In a million years.

Maybe athletics shouldn’t be seen as a revenue generating system. Great when it does, but otherwise...

I didn't think race was a big deal when I played in the 80's and the team was mostly black back then, and I still don't think it should be. But when you have black players saying things like I won't play unless the coach apologizes for wearing a t-shirt of a news organization, or saying he won't play unless a state changes it's flag, I'd say you are just burying your head in the sand if you don't think race has anything to do with the current climate of college sports.
I don't know what is going to happen, but the media is giving these kids a lot of power to do almost anything they want politically with no recourse, so long as you are on the left side of the spectrum. The boosters are only going to put up with so much before they stop giving money to the programs. It is going to be interesting to see.

I agree, and I agree with the spirit of title IX, but not the way they apply it.

What part of my thread didn't you understand. I said "This is nothing but a liberal feel good LAW". LAW LAW LAW.

This is actually a decent line of thinking

Getting rid of title IX isn't close to reality. And reducing CFB scholarships to
cut costs when it's your biggest revenue generator?
If P5 schools are in financial trouble it's because they're spending millions on huge bloated staffs,fired coaches and multi million dollar facility "upgrades"
This is the "reality" of some of these schools.

It's not so much race as it is politics and "social activism" and I don't think a few athletes from the PAC 12 and their idiotic demands represents the vast majority of P5 black athletes.
What's their alternative to P5 CFB or even
CBB? Sorry,none are comparable to what they have now.

Honestly, what the f are you even talking about? Get off the weirdo comment boards or talk radio or wherever you are getting this trash.

And it should be. That was the point. Reality. Money doesn't grow on trees. "Fairness" is in the eye of the beholder, and you're of the mindset that screaming pissed off leftists simply cannot be told "no"

Good point on that in regard to P5's, but the non-P5's aren't able to be included in your equation. The ramifications of the OP's line of thinking also plays well moving down the line to 1AA and DII
Numbers don't deal with what the OP termed as "feel good" stuff, and he is right about that. We certainly want girls to have many opportunities as well, but at what point does the well run dry, especially with non-P5's?

I have no idea what these ADs are gonna do to cut costs. I've read comments from some of these guys saying they are losing $50 million (or more) out of their budget.
So what do you do? Something is gonna have to give, that's for sure.

Major policy changes like that take a lot of political capital. The party that would currently presumably be pushing for that won’t have that kind of political capital until at least 4 years of an opposition party presidency, and that’s assuming they do nothing but save up (unlikely).
In other words, it’s so improbable that it’s not even worth entertaining the possibility. Amending and revising is realistic, but likely not going to be a strategic priority.

non-P5's simply and abruptly shutting the hell down over finances is not improbable
