Oh...no worries. Well that depends. I think everyone agrees that football


is driving the revenue bus/train right now. Also, I think everyone agrees that there is no women's sport to counter the number of scholarships offered in DI-FBS football, DI-FCS football, and even DII football. Based on that fact, multiple people (reports, experts, etc) have suggested over the years that the schools should probably find a way to get football excluded from being a factor in determining if a school is Title IX compliant for intercollegiate sports and even club sports.

If that goal can be obtained, then I do think schools will try to explore it in further detail. If that goal can't be obtained, then is there anything the schools can do to minimize the impact? I believe those 2 scenarios are influencing people to suggest that football go off and do its own thing, spin the athletic department off into its own private entity, and even schools deciding to go pro in certain sports. Likewise, I do believe there are some schools content with maintaining the status quo.
