Clearly, most programs are not. And Title IX will be an issue.

This new league will have to figure out how many and which sponsored sports are required. And I seriously doubt very many programs that are in the black will be cut. So Michigan Hockey should be OK, if they are indeed making money. I bet the insurance alone costs a ton though.

And with regard to title Ix, I think Congress would be hesitant to act in a way that Clemson, Ohio state, UCLA, and Texas would be harmed. I would imagine we'll end up with slightly smaller ADs at these top 65 schools, something like 7 mens and 6 womens sports would be sponsored at most, perhaps 9 and 8.

Because the gap is already there. Let's remove the sleaze factor ASAP. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 01:34AM

The gap was there when VT was not relevant on the national stage. -- maddogbob 02/22/2016 7:29PM

Not at all. The NCAA's a broken experiment. Sleazy as heck. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 8:35PM

Even though on paper it may seem simple for the P65 -- VTHokie2000 02/22/2016 10:35AM

If the P65 weren't subsidizing others, they'd have plenty to field teams. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 11:51AM

Even if the P65 decide to require a minimum number of sports -- VTHokie2000 02/22/2016 12:26PM

Sure it will take a yr or two to ramp up. 20 or so teams is plenty. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 1:33PM

My point was that a majority of schools that sponsor the sport -- VTHokie2000 02/22/2016 2:30PM

I'm fairly certain Michigan will be able to find 15 or so P65 teams to play -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 2:35PM

How do you know these programs are unprofitable? -- VTHokie2000 02/22/2016 3:15PM

Not suggesting Title IX will be done away with. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 10:30PM

It ties back to a point I made on another post where schools -- VTHokie2000 02/22/2016 11:12PM

I do think government involvement would make matters worse. -- VTHokie2000 02/20/2016 11:10AM
