Schools must abide by Title IX framework, 50% of the investment must be directed towards women athletes

So the subdivision has to do this, but the main p5 Division/sec, that claims to be title 9 champion and builders up of softball don't have to abide. Fascinating

Wouldn't this remove any semblance of amateurism? If so, sports at these institutions should lose their tax exempt status.

The funny part is universities paying a player more than Brock Purdy makes.

It’s all going to happen fast. The NIT grab was just the shot over the bow.

Good point. How would it impact Olympic sports? And a massive tax grab is there for the taking. And are the new “employees” W-2 or 1099 employees? And to the extreme, lifetime disability?

Don’t think this was fully thought out.

Agreed. This division should have no association with the ncaa. We will be in the FBS playing for a ncaa title. They can play for something else.

I want no part of this at all. It is all going to crash down around them.

[NOCajun]

Let's call it the 1P(Professional) subdivision and after 10 years or so, merge it with the NFL...

This is definitely not good for us in softball and baseball. Better make the WCWS and CWS soon.

I think the opposite schools will start cutting sports to save money. Baseball and softball will be on the chopping block outside of a handful of schools.

Wouldn't be a bad idea

This might be a good thing for us (schools without an unlimited budget) IFF: this means no NIL for anyone outside of that division.

If that doesn't change I don't really see any difference for us except we won't play those in the no rules division.

Ironic to use Olympic sports as a model for amateurish since the Olympics is not amateurs anymore either

[Policarp]

30k per athlete. Does that include tennis, soccer, women’s hoops….. and other sport offered?

Yes......& 50% must go to women

[ultracajun]

This will be a very expensive club to join.

Instead of trying to reel in the insanity by instituting budget caps, they are doubling down.
