Will Title IX apply? If not, how should IOWA Football divide roughly $16M in Revenue Sharing between the 105 Roster Players?

How do you figure? The athletic department owes the university $235.1 million.

Iowa has already stated it will be able to pay the $20.5 million per year in revenue sharing. They've been planning for it.

The Athletic Department borrowed $50 million during the pandemic —it doesn't owe the University $235 million.

It's all funny money.

This is simply a last ditch effort by the Biden Admin to force schools to give equal payments for revenue that wasn't earned equally. It will be challenged in court because you can't have a scenario where the rules are constantly changing based on which political party is in power. I would expect that a court will quickly determine that the House settlement specifically called for REVENUE SHARING, which means you share the revenue with the players in the sport that are actually generating the revenue. This idea that everything needs to be equal is bullshit. It's supposed to be about fairness, not equal.

I found it interesting that Doc wrote that this will receive an immediate court challenge and the DoE won't win.

Question: Do players have to use their parents' health insurance first (where players are covered until age 26)?

Should be worker's comp for any football injury.

What a scholarship student athlete will be getting:

* Revenue sharing payments from the school
* NIL income
* Free tuition
* Free housing
* Free, Unlimited healthy Food
* Free Training & Weight Room access
* Free Personal Training
* Free Physical Therapy

I am sure I missed something but the value of the above is pretty incredible, especially for an out of state student.

I want them to remove the cap on years they can play at a school.

 

[pistachio1999]

Schools have a cap each year when it comes to revenue sharing. It really does feel like the NFL

Except players have contracts there. We need to get to that here.

Just renewed the season tickets today. First two home games are dogs, but rest should be pretty good.

Why? This would require the university to pay workers' compensation insurance premiums for "amateur" athletes. And if the University has to do that, how could they continue to afford the non-revenue sports? And wouldn't this open the door for all amateur athletes to sue for compensation at all levels of college athletics? I would think something like this could destroy athletics in the lower divisions like NAIA and Division III.

No, it isn't. This is actual debt funded by bonds/cash/cash equivalents, etc. It doesn't work the same way as the federal budget.

Any company with employees has to pay work comp premiums. Boo hoo.

Nice attitude. That being said, they aren't employees. And if we ever see a place where college athletes are considered employees it will be an end to a majority of college athletics. Very few could ever afford to fund teams.
