It ties back to a point I made on another post where schools

could face lawsuits from non-student athletes demanding the same amount of compensation that student-athletes receives. Schools will then be forced to justify why a student-athlete deserves more compensation than a student assisting on an academic study, a work study program, or even as a GA. If it can be proven that schools generate just as much or more revenue on the academic side as it does on the athletic side, then schools may have a difficult time restricting the compensation to just student-athletes.

I found the post I made on the football board where I raised the questions/concerns.

College teams becoming copycats as gap betweens haves, have-nots widens -- goldendomer 02/19/2016 3:36PM

EVERYONE needs to back away and start over. -- chuckd4vt 02/20/2016 12:25PM

Many of those lower schools you mention are at -- maddogbob 02/22/2016 12:11AM

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

Clearly, most programs are not. And Title IX will be an issue. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2016 9:38PM

No Senator or Congressman (wanting to be re-elected) -- VTHokie2000 02/22/2016 10:03PM

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

It is a good article. The only issue I found with the article -- VTHokie2000 02/19/2016 4:19PM

Government agencies would increase costs and make matters worse. ;) ** -- Old Line Hokie 02/19/2016 6:08PM

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