What's this?

Perhaps this is a needed correction


It doesn’t seem right to me that a woman’s field hockey player, for example, gets full/partial tuition and all the other perks for playing a sport that gets practically no attention. Meanwhile, regular students are drowning in debt due to these ridiculous tuition costs. A graduate Joe Blow sacrificing $10,000 a year because he supports the football team that goes into an AD pot which doesn’t even cover the woman’s lacrosse trip to Syracuse. Time to make these sports club and play local teams. And, yes, I realize Title IX would have to be undone. It won’t for a long time, of course, so goodbye to men’s non-revs.

I am friends with an assistant baseball coach for a Big East school and is worried what NLI will mean for the team and his job.

  If you pay football players how do fund other sports? -- Stech 06/21/2021 6:20PM
  And therein lies the problem. I've been saying it for years -- HokieToph 07/01/2021 3:04PM
  Is it not true that players will not actually be given paychecks? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/26/2021 3:06PM
  You drop all scholarships across the board. Including football -- HOO86 06/22/2021 1:17PM
  Unless the pay was enough to pay for tuition etc, you'd lose a ton of top -- HokieToph 07/01/2021 3:03PM
  And ....each has to pay in state or out of state tuition given residency ** -- elkridgehokie 06/26/2021 11:06PM
  Agree agree ** -- MrFantastic! 06/22/2021 6:23PM
  If you do it that way, is what they get paid taxed? ** -- Stech 06/21/2021 10:37PM
  Yes, but would guess many would not make enough to pay significant tax ** -- elkridgehokie 06/26/2021 11:07PM
  Certainly. Professional athletes pay taxes. -- HOO86 06/21/2021 10:44PM
  Yeah, but if you make them pay their tuition, they won't be paying taxes -- reestuart 06/23/2021 09:31AM
  Man the unintended consequences on this one are going to be interesting. ** -- Stech 06/22/2021 05:55AM
