RE: D1 AD Argues For A Cap On Coaching Salaries

Would Congress pick a cap of X dollars? Maybe because that would be dumb.
If the inclination were to exist to cap, the smart way would be a cap of a certain amount per full time equivalency scholarship awarded. That would provide incentive to have a lot of sports and lot of scholarship athletes.
The problem the Feds have is that athletics with Title 9 only worked because football/basketball money could easily pay the freight. If your going to require that football/basketball be run like a business---then you cant require the schools to operate money losing programs. Its either a business or its an amateur student athlete competition. It cant be both. As the sport is pressed on the legalities of its current structure----we have moved t the point where its going to have to be one or the other (either a business or a amateur student athletic competition). The only other options is for government to create a special legal anti-trust envelope specifically for college athletics that would allow it to continue to exist in something similar to its current form.
