As expected, schools have begun cutting Olympic sports.

I don’t like what is happening to college sports
I still wonder if the universities giving equal “opportunity” to men and women if they have the funding to support themselves then having all sports teams going through a third party is a way around Title IX that someone will try
I hope Title IX lawyers blow this NIL crap to smitherines suing for $10 Trillion! A full blown class action suit against ALL 134 FBS schools. Shut it down until it goes back to amateur Student Athletes and each sport gets a flat amount to spend on staffs! I want the entire FBS to become the IVY League! That way, everybody's defense will be as bad as ours!****
We sponsor the minimum number of sports required to be FBS. We wont be dropping anything unless the NCAA relaxes that requirement.
Communism! Yea!I hope Title IX lawyers blow this NIL crap to smitherines suing for $10 Trillion! A full blown class action suit against ALL 134 FBS schools.

I think it’s weird that he didn’t name a single program eliminating school in that article.
Really save money, get rid of title 9, and cut all women’s sports. Nothing wrong with club sports model.
I bet they will. Not as much as they cut men's sports (or at least no more than men's sports), but they will cut them. If I cut 20 men's scholarships and 10 women's, I've actually improved my Title IX compliance.
I'd like to see some details too. I bet it's not quite as bad as the article suggests, but still, it's a big concern going forward.
Hilarious to me that even the non-revenue athletes are going to be suing the NCAA.
Agree. We are going to figure out any way forward to stay in the Big 2, with all sports.
It's not that there's nothing wrong with the club sports model. That's the ideal model. For profitable sports, nothing wrong with having scholarships and compensating players and coaches. For everything else, it should be basically just another extra curricular activity. Maybe some money made available to them just like other student activities, but basically supported by the players that want to participate.
I didn't read anywhere that they said whole programs would eliminated, just roster spots. Here's the quote: "Such a change will result in thousands of lost roster spots for mostly walk-on athletes and those on partial scholarship"
Not unless your school enrollment is 2/3 women.
Title IX compliance is about mirroring the school's distribution. Mostly male schools like The Citadel and VMI don't even play women's basketball because they'd have to balance it out with 60 or so more men's scholarships.
Is this just indicative of the decline in popularity of Olympic sports? I think that I can see at least two things that might be true:
1) Greed has taken over college sports and, depending on your opinion, maybe ruined it for the foreseeable future.
2) The biggest losers will be sports that are just cost centers that do not contribute to the bottom line, among some of the most prominent ones are Olympic sports, based on old Greek competitions (at least in their original form), that have held our collective attention about as long as they could.
TLDR: Football, Basketball, Baseball and Soccer are way more popular than discus throwing so they will be in the driver's seat.
You've got it backwards. You improve your compliance unless your school is >2/3 men.
The FBS schools didn't do this. The same lawyers who would be suing for title IX did this.I hope Title IX lawyers blow this NIL crap to smitherines suing for $10 Trillion!

I actually don’t mind women’s curling. Not sure if any schools up north have this. In fact I wouldn’t even mind coaching this hobby. One of the only times in today’s feminist society I could yell “Sweep harder!” at a woman and no one would pretend to get their panties in a wad.
I think he's assuming you were in compliance using the breakdown of the student body (which I think is technically one of three methods for showing compliance but basically the only one schools feel safe using). If you were in "perfect" compliance and had roster spots exactly in proportion to the student population, you'd actually risk an alleged violation of Title IX by having too few men's spots if you went around cutting schollies at a 2:1 ratio of men's scholarships to women's scholarships.
In reality, most schools are still a little heavily weighted towards men's athletic scholarships when compared to the student population. Or at least they were a decade ago. Universities enrollment have generally become more female, so I would expect they are still overweighted towards men compared to the student population, even if they have made additional cuts to men's scholarships in that time. So assuming that's all correct, you are correct that cutting 20 men's scholarships and 10 women's would likely make most schools ration of men's to women's scholarship more closely match the ratio of men to women's undergraduate population.
Which program do we have to cut to enable us to hear the PA at DWS?
Have to say I am glad my son (former college All American swimmer) has graduated and moved on from the NCAA sports F-UP.
This entire lawsuit may have wrecked America's Olympic hopes too.

New college sports roster limits revealed as House settlement expands scholarship numbers
More than 750 additional scholarships are coming to college sports.

So what I see is that they increased the scholarship limits on all sports so schools will eliminate the fringe sports. Look at that list, 55 scholarships for Tumbling? What the 17 is Tumbling? 50 schollies for Equestrian?
