RE: The Relationship Between Paying Players and Title IX-CBS Sports
There are a lot of men's sports that get fewer, sometimes significantly fewer, scholarships for men. Track and field, for one example. There also seem to be excessive women's scholarships in some sports. With autonomy, they are trying to reduce some of those differences and let schools do their own balancing instead of the NCAA doing it for them.

If we're tweaking scholarship levels, this is what i would do:

Basketball - Men stay at 13, women drop from 15 to 13
Baseball/Softball - Men go from 11.7 to 15, Women go from 12 to 15
Cross Country/Track and Field - Men go from 12.6 to 18, women stay at 18. If a school does not sponsor all three seasons (Cross Country, Indoor, Outdoor), that number is reduced by six for each season)
Field hockey (women) - goes from 12 to 22, becomes headcount sport
Football (men) - FBS goes from 85 to 77, and FCS goes from 63 to 55. If a player plays another sport, he counts as a full scholarship in that sport with the exception of Rifle.
Gymnastics - Men go from 6.3 to 8, women stay at 12
Lacrosse - Men go from 12.6 to 13, women go from 12 to 13
Soccer - Men go from 9.9 to 15, women go from 14 to 15
Tennis - Men go from 4.5 to 8, women stay at 8
Volleyball (Indoor) - Men go from 4.5 to 8, women from 12 to 16

For most Division 1 programs with football and without men's soccer, men's gymnastics, and men's volleyball, they will have 31 women's scholarships (indoor volleyball and women's soccer) to offset football. The third sport to offset football would be either rowing (20), field hockey (22), equestrian (15), or gymnastics (12). This would get them between 43 and 53 scholarships, fairly close to the new FCS limit of 55 scholarships. FBS schools will likely have to add sponsor two of those sports if they wish to fund their men's teams at the maximum levels.
