This is going to happen at most colleges.

quote:

In an effort to "adapt to the quickly changing NCAA landscape," Loyola Marymount University has announced that it will be eliminating six athletic programs at the end of the 2023-24 season due to new rules regarding name, image and likeness and "pending rulings on student-athletes as employees"


quote:

"We are in a time of exponential and rapid change across intercollegiate athletics, requiring that LMU Athletics also adapt to be competitive and successful in the future," Pintens wrote. "This was a complex decision that was made after carefully considering various internal and external factors, in consultation with external partners and select university leadership."




The 6 teams are three men's teams (rowing, cross-country and track and field) and three women's teams (rowing, swimming and track and field).

Unless they do something about this then this is about to become an avalanche towards the destruction of college sports.

The race-baiters and do-gooders who clamored for NIL don't care. As long as they can destroy the primary sports, their goals are achieved.

Loyola with their 0 players drawing enough interest to garner nil money??? Naw... that's not what caused this.

It will. When they rule that they are employees, all costs is going up too.

God damn this makes my heart happy. We all knew this was going to happen and now the universities that have been peddling this bullshite will have to actually look a woman in the face and tell her she no longer has a scholarship because of it. I'm even more excited for the tax evasion arrest but that will take a year or 2.

Question?

We all know before all this people did $500 handshakes and cars would mysteriously appear in driveways. With things being “documented” with NIL are the players not having to pay taxes on all this shite? You would think the IRS would be having a hay day with targeting players, schools, and businesses that are involved with all of this.

What would Arkansas fans post about if this happens in the SEC?

Why should football and men’s hoops care?
They fund everything anyway
Why should football players have to support all sports?

Women’s hoops is nothing but a drain on the men’s sports
Women’s teams lose millions every year

They should be, but maybe their agents are taking care of it???

And interesting enough any university that receives any federal money, which is basically all, the employees at those universities fall under the ruling of Title 9. So, if/when the athletes become employees of the universities the same rules for fairness for women in college sports now under Title 9 will be applied to those same athletes who become employees.

You will see more male sport get dropped overall to ensure proper Title 9 fairness for female athletes. Remember now most Title 9 requirements are met via the number of scholarships given out. Why some schools do not offer certain sports for men. Once they become employed it will be a lot harder to meet that requirement when salaries will need to be distributed in a fair manner under Title 9. Unless the universities separate football athletes as non-student athletes and only classify them as employees.

Because Federal law under Title 9 says women sports have to happen in order to give scholarships for men sports. The same logic will be applied for university employees.

You're correct. Title 9 also has destroyed many men's programs and led to our country being far less competitive in men's sports on the world stage. Now other countries are catching up to us in women's sports.

500 dollar hand shakes and 3 million dollar endorsements that don't even have contracts are 2 totally different things. Quinn ewers should probably be in jail for the money he took from Ohio state to leave a year after arriving and taking more money from Texas but we're all still pretending this is endorsement money opposed to straight playing payers so I suppose that ice cream shop he wore a shirt for got their million back.

This makes sense. I just didn’t know if it was being labeled as “charitable gifts,” “nonprofit cost,” or “payroll.”
