[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 1002693, member: 198"] The issue with employment and student-athletes is that it doesn’t stop with the revenue sports. This will apply to all student athletes, whether they’re on scholarship or not. The money has to come from somewhere. The current budgets of most athletic associations are essentially break-even. Something will have to give. I expect that football will eventually be spun off and out of the university and NCAA basketball will be what pays for all other sports. I expect much of that will come from the NCAA tournament. Title IX will be covered with Men’s and Women’s basketball. Many smaller programs will disappear because high major programs will no longer pay for a lower level team to have play-for-pay games. I believe many varsity Olympic will become non-varsity sports and self-fund. They may get funding from supporters, but the budgets from the athletic associations will be much limited. There will be an uproar, but they’re all complicit in the dismantling of the system. People who want to watch college football and basketball will still be able to do that. The number of schools fielding top varsity programs will be wildly reduced. This may not be a bad thing. Back to being students first. It’s been a long, long time. [/QUOTE]
