It’s not going to be interesting at all, there will be less money to go around and some sponsors will get tired of the politics and just contribute less funding

Just another mistake by Jimmy Carter.

The schools aren't paying the athletes. Not sure what title ix has to do with anything or how it touches NIL.

This applies to the potential revenue sharing that is being proposed from schools to athletes.
NIL will still be a separate thing.

Dept of Education is about to be canned as is the clown that runs it.
The courts would contradict themselves if they ruled this

EXACTLY!
$20 million out of Athletic Department budget, shared equally with all athletes, male and female. This satisfies Title 9 and is strictly revenue sharing.
The NIL aspect is private money and can not be regulated by any authority. This is Name, Image, or Likeness being sold by the athlete themselves and is a private contract. Each athlete created their own value. Collectives, if associated with a school, needs to break that association and become strictly private. I believe most collectives are already in this condition, or should be. The whole NIL concept is just replacing the "Bag Man money drop" of the past and bringing that money out into the open.
I suspect, and have commented previously, that the revenue generating sports (football, basketball, SEC baseball?) may spin off from the Athletic Departments and reconstitute as something independent and regulated NOT by the NCAA.

Yes...it should apply to both male and female athletes. Your NIL contracts should be determined by your marketability regardless of gender. It just turns out that male athletes have a greater market demand than women overall. But a D1 women's basketball player should be able to get more NIL money than a D2 men's football player (note...I said D2 and not FCS...which are not the same thing). They earn what the market demands, largely based on the revenue they could potentially bring in via.

Title IX only applies to federal funds, the allocation of federal funds has to be equal. The revenue payments are not federally funded, therefore they do not fall under Title IX protections. Any attempt to try to force it to be will lose at the SCOTUS level on this.
