Watching the vandy game and seeing Franklin get desperate trying to spark his team against the powerhouse Umass is hilarious.

A lot of teams would cut football and many other sports entirely. Maybe half of the 125 teams could afford to pay players what people are suggesting. Obviously you'd have to have equal pay regardless of where you went to school, so the smaller schools that don't have huge money couldn't foot the bill. The BCS conferences would probably be the only teams left in FBS, and not even all those teams could afford it.

Basically what you said, the big conferences split away. No decent player would go to a non paying school, so those wouldn't have a chance at being competitive. I'm not saying that's necessarily a horrible thing, just something to consider. Some people wouldn't have the stomach to effectively ax dozens of programs.

5 major conferences, 16 teams each, pay the players, F the AA.

And when title IX people come and say female players have to be paid the same amount?

If they are playing football then they should. But I'm pretty sure they would dictate the payments based off the income that sport would bring in. So obviously Football players would get the most, then mens basketball and then maybe womens basketball if they could prove that it brings in enough to warrant paying them.

I agree. The positive revenue sports are the ones who would receive a stipend. They are the reason that allows women's softball, soccer, lacrosse, and volleyball to even exist. None of those players would be able to get scholarships if their existence was predicated on the revenue they bring in vs. the cost of fielding the teams.

In theory it says equal dollars spent on both sides. There have been schools sued over facility differences. No way the female side would allow paying only males

I believe our football budget dwarfs all other women's sports budgets combined. Is this incorrect?

Of course it does. Find some liberal female with money to burn, a lawyer and a law suite could be filed. I can assure you nobody wants a title 9 suite filed. It would spell bad news in the money department

Schools are not businesses or professional sports teams. You could make that same argument for scholarship distribution, and that didn't seem to hold water.

The only way it could work is if a minor league system started where the teams were affiliated but now owned by the university, some sort of partnership. They could stil pay the school for the right to use the university name, and that could allow the athletic department to still be funded. That would be a massive undertaking, but some entrepreneurial person could give it a shot.

What I see happening with this paying players thing is the power conferences go to the NCAA and basically tell them they are pulling out for Football only. Think about it, it would give them the freedom to finally pay the players while also maintaining the NCAA tourney for basketball. Also the ncaa won't put up a fight otherwise they risk the conferences pulling all sports leaving the ncaa with basically nothing.
