This right here. A lot of folks don’t understand what title IX means. Because of football we have to dole out 85 scholarships to women’s sports which as a whole represent a huge drain on a schools budget. At 50k a year just for tuition + housing, food, books, travel, practice facilities, etc. All this for one person who will generate no income to the school and essentially represents nothing but a parasitic cost. Title IX is garbage and holds schools hostage. Especially private schools. Miami has to therefore keep most other men’s sports down to a minimum except for those who can pay for themselves (basketball, baseball, football) because if they had other men’s sports they have to offer the same amount of schollies to women.
Better yet, why must they carry sports that don't make money. Drop everything but football and men's basketball.
Of course, since Miami is big in marine biology.
50% of women is not Title 9
Not that I disagree with the ruling but big money schools will exploit this **** via the book and "supplies" market. Book industry dirty as ****....for real.sorta.
Either way it's just another loophole for the Alabum@$$es, Clemdumps, & USheA's of the world to exploit:
"A judge ruled against the NCAA on Friday night in a federal antitrust lawsuit, saying football and basketball players should be permitted to receive more compensation from schools but only if the benefits are tied to education.
The ruling Friday night from U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken in Oakland, California, said the NCAA cannot "limit compensation or benefits related to education." That means more scholarship money to pursue postgraduate degrees or finish undergraduate degrees and items that could be considered school supplies such as computers."
