Title IX strikes again

[ctroberts1024]

Not only is title IX the most pointless and fraudulent thing ever. Ruined numerous people’s lives over false claims and is just a free handout.

But now, they’re stating that all NIL money should be distributed among all sports (they mean just women sports) evenly. So you won’t be able to donate to a schools NIL fund without that money going to all women’s sports as well.

Gonna completely change the landscape of NIL from here on out. Completely ignorant imo. The sports and athletes generating the most revenue should get the most money. I couldn’t care less what sex they are.

What idiots at the DOE. How the hell can you classify money paid to the players from proceeds from private sporting deals as “financial assistance” that’ll get slapped down in court.

 

[TTU/UK fan]

It won't hold. Most definitely just the DOE going rogue a few days before a lot of those employees are likely replaced.

 

[jeffries123]

Isn’t Trump getting rid of the DOE?

 

[TTU/UK fan]

This ruling is hogwash. So a player gets a sponsorship that his agent (that he pays), got for him, but he needs to share it with the volleyball team? This isn't going to hold up and will get destroyed in court. Even if not, there will be a work around.

That doesn’t coincide with what congress passed with the NIL Bill. They aren’t getting that money for their Name Image or Likeness, but off that of another person. I don’t see how they can possibly be legally allowed to take money away from those that put the money into the piggy bank.

The govt is my customer (multiple agencies) and I have no idea what the Dept of Ed does. They also have no money, so there's that too.

 

[Manhattan_Cat]

Don’t see the lasting with the regime change in less than a week.

 

[Ky grandpa]

I will be so happy if the DOE in DC get's closed down and go back to where it should always been, the state's... Money in DC gets lost and goes to political bull crap so politicians can party...

There is really no such thing as NIL anyway. This thing won’t survive.

Have commented on this in the past ,.. this dispute was inevitable

DOE mad "women" with ballsacks can't play women's sports after recent legislation, throwing this out at the 11th hour to tangle up the next admin.

Everyone in this thread is misinterpreting this ruling. It has no bearing on normal NIL money that a player gets. This ruling is specifically referring to the revenue sharing that will now be distributed to the schools to pay players directly. A quarterback making $3 million on an NIL deal with a collective won't be affected by this. It says when schools get a $23 million payout from media deal revenue sharing and players are paid directly it will need to be paid out in a way that complies to Title IX.

This means absolutely nothing. What the political trolls at the DOE dont understand Iis NIL is personally owned by the athlete. Every athlete is already the same. They each own their personal NIL.

No one, particularly the "state" can take NIL away from anyone. These must be the dumbest clowns on earth.

Title 9 sucks. And swallows.

This. Zero way this withstands a legal challenge, but it will probably be rolled back before that ever even has to come about.

This is akin to requiring schools to distribute grades based on gender. Its dead on arrival. Sheer stupidity.

I only know what has been posted in this thread. If you are correct, the ruling still does not make sense. The revenue earned has nothing to do with the women on the rifle team. So, should those women make as much as the women on the WBB team? Should the WBB make as much as the men’s football team (the real revenue generators)? Every student gets the same scholly, but should every student make the same in a revenue share when most do not make any revenue for the school?

I have friends who make a lot more money that I do, both women and men. Should I get some of their money because I don’t generate as much revenue as they?

Title IX can serve a purpose. Your communism explanation should not be included in that purpose.

Now that everyone has had time for their misdirected outrage, it might be time to actually read what this is actually regarding. First, it isn't a ruling, it is guidance. Second, it has nothing to do with NIL, but it is actually regarding whether schools could setup some sort of revenue sharing model so they could pay players directly. Third, the incoming administration won't impact this one way or the other. Congress would need to replace or repeal Title IX for this administration to have any say in this, and that isn't going to happen.

Do not agree with that last comment. This “guidance” is not in a statute. The DOE is an executive branch agency. Who is president matters.

 

[Perrin75]

The guidance is just that, guidance. They are telling the NCAA that if you continue down your current path it most likely will not withstand legal scrutiny. The NCAA can certainly move forward if they want. This is not a mandate. The guidance can be withdrawn under a new administration. It could even be changed. It still won't have any impact on what the NCAA ultimately decides to do.

 

[JonathanW]

That would go completely against the concept of Name Image & Likeness.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Agency guidance does impact behavior. So, a change would be significant.
