My daughter has signed to play college golf and she may be one of the last classes to have scholarship money available for college athletics. Which is a shame because lots of sports that colleges play do not generate millions and millions of dollars. The sports that these kids play are going to be the unintended consequences of this. If you a lucky enough to be able to play a sport in college and advance your abilities and another level while also receiving help with your education, it helps these families a lot. These kids rarely get full rides. Most receive partial scholarships to varying degrees.
Tell you what…….. if these guys even touch TitleIX they’ll not only see, but they’ll feel what’s meant by “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”.
As mentioned earlier here on the board…… these peckerwoods that have exploited for profit and put College Athletics in the position they find themselves have two issues they absolutely resolve:
1. Dealing with the fact the Men’s Football and Basketball produce the vast majority of their revenues.
2. TitleIX prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school OR any other education program that receives funding from the federal government.
……….btw, my daughter was a softball player in college, meaning I’ve seen the benefits.
