Not a prayer, ladies will not allow it. And, as long as any of these schools take government money, not a chance.

So does this mean that a coach can't bench me for poor play? Does this mean that they will be playing more football in foreign counties? joking but only kinda .....

we'll see, I guarantee you someone is trying to figure this one out. The NCAA has been scared of this for the last 4 decades, hence the invention of the term "student athlete".

People can try all they want. It is, what it is. Title IX is a direct response of getting cash from the federal government. Nearly all schools accept it, whether it be student loans, grants, etc.

I agree with you Squid that people are working on it, However I do not think that any institution will turn down fed money for football money. In the long run, it does not make sense fiscally or legally.

We will see.

Hope they get it.

This creates an even bigger separation of power. Secondly, the NCAA will lose its non profit status thus increasing the tax burden which will also be shifted to the schools in some fashion. This will cause even further separation and force a lot of athletic programs to close or drop sports.

I feel like the best deserve to get paid and I don't think the "$150,000 of free education" is a valid argument when several of these elite players couldn't give two shtts about a college degree.

why would paying players cause the ncaa to lose its non profit status?
