If the schools are paying football players directly, then they are going to have to pay female athletes an equal amount. Even if they don't pay directly, working with a collective (rather than the collective operating totally independently) may be enough to trigger title IX- we'll see what the contours are as this plays out, https://frontofficesports.com/new-lawsuit-could-decide-whether-nil-is-subject-to-title-ix/

As far as mens non revenue sports like soccer, expect cuts

Women's basketball and softball generate revenue. Volleyball too, I think.

Soccer notsomuch except maybe when there's a Mia Hamm type player.

It's about numbers. The basketball teams cancel out. D1 football as has 85 scholarship. Softball and volleyball are both 12 scholarships. That leaves 61 that have to be balanced

The purpose of college sports is NOT to develop professionals. Only a very tiny percentage of college athletes in any sport are even interested in playing professionally.

Before people post believing that the NCAA can hide behind Title IX to save itself.

There are multiple sides to what the future landscape of college athletics will look like due to these pending lawsuits, laws being signed in, and rules being dropped by the NCAA. Even with the latest one allowing students in good academic standing to have unlimited transfers with immediate eligibility.

Some believe collegiate athletics will survive as they stand, and some believe that most schools will only be able to sustain the major sports like football and basketball. Top P5 colleges that have a much larger budget for athletics may be able to continue to run a large number of sports but that wont be the case for all.

What does this have to do with soccer? Unless you are the top two or three female college players, this doesn't apply to you.

The same as it always has but the money is in the table instead of under it.

if your club hasn't prepared you for nil you have the wrong people in charge

Both and more, bout to weird

Does this mean colleges can pay youth players NIL money at showcase events before they've even committed to play for the university?

Or, do commitments now include a 50k NIL contract?
