What's this?

There's no MAY about it, Title IX is the law, and what is a revenue sport?

One that makes $$$? For real, there's only 1 sport that makes $$$.

What next, a 100,000 seat stadium for Liberty? ;) -- Old Line Hokie 02/17/2017 9:56PM

I think we can expect expansion of Williams Stadium. -- HOO86 02/17/2017 10:19PM

U really want Clem. & Cuse to drop millions on swimming & diving? -- chuckd4vt 02/18/2017 12:45PM

I want 20 sport program minimum for the P5. -- HOO86 02/18/2017 2:11PM

Do any SEC schools have 20? -- EDGEMAN 02/18/2017 7:31PM

Most SEC have 20 or 21. -- HOO86 02/18/2017 8:53PM

At least. I think Bama only has around 17. Even Wake has more. ** -- reestuart 02/18/2017 3:31PM

The head scratcher is Texas with only 18. That's ridiculous. ** -- HOO86 02/18/2017 3:44PM

Yeah, that's pathetic. ** -- reestuart 02/19/2017 08:17AM

Good for them. They are smart. Much better forms of charity out there. ** -- chuckd4vt 02/18/2017 6:16PM

It's not about charity. Ohio State fields the max number of varsity teams -- reestuart 02/19/2017 10:06AM

It is charity. The Us receive little for their investments in these sports. -- chuckd4vt 02/21/2017 2:01PM

By that reasoning, they should do away with every sport but bball & footbal ** -- reestuart 02/21/2017 2:02PM

Nailed it. -- chuckd4vt 02/22/2017 10:26AM

Sorry. We're gonna have mini golf and nap rooms soon enough. Please. -- chuckd4vt 02/28/2017 12:38AM

Since the primary purpose of college athletics is not to be -- VTHokie2000 02/23/2017 1:16PM

Thanks for the input. Realistically, I wouldn't go one over minimum of 14. -- chuckd4vt 02/28/2017 12:46AM

Something to consider when a college/university is considering -- VTHokie2000 02/28/2017 12:47PM

Then those millions we trail the SEC and b1G are only going to look worse. ** -- chuckd4vt 02/18/2017 2:46PM

ACC schools make enough money to have a pool and swim teams. -- HOO86 02/18/2017 3:46PM

Not if they want to keep up with the big boys in football. -- chuckd4vt 02/18/2017 6:05PM

If 20 is the new minimum, then the SEC will have to pull cash from -- EDGEMAN 02/18/2017 7:33PM

Most of the SEC meets 20. If I said 25 they would have a problem. -- HOO86 02/18/2017 9:00PM

I think winning records against the SEC and B1G is keeping up just fine. -- HOO86 02/18/2017 6:46PM

G-5 will eventually have their own Football National Championship. -- Stech 02/17/2017 7:15PM

G5 is a financial no man's land -- PadrosWindup 02/17/2017 12:48PM

Not at all. FBS football's some of best exposure/mark. money can buy. -- chuckd4vt 02/17/2017 7:21PM

So how much $ would Liberty offer Sun Belt -- FlyFishingHokie 02/17/2017 3:40PM

Sun Belt has no interest in Liberty. The conference looked at them 2 -- VTHokie2000 02/17/2017 5:17PM

You are assuming that Liberty's move is for financial gains in athletics. -- VTHokie2000 02/17/2017 12:54PM

Who did Liberty have to bribe in order to get the waiver from the NCAA? ** -- VTHokie2000 02/16/2017 5:55PM

Interesting, may see a move back to teams going independent -- goldendomer 02/16/2017 10:38PM

I can't wait for the ND/LU rivalry! ** -- IB4TECH 02/18/2017 4:39PM

I would not use Liberty as a bellwether of the future of FBS football. -- seekoHoG 02/17/2017 1:08PM

I could see more teams try it though, but Liberty has a lot of money -- goldendomer 02/17/2017 1:15PM

JMU will be the next to try to make the move. After that I don't think -- VTHokie2000 02/17/2017 1:20PM

The MAC has no interest in Liberty and I know the Sun Belt doesn't -- VTHokie2000 02/17/2017 1:14PM

Football is the easy part, the other sports are a nightmare for AD's -- Stech 02/17/2017 07:56AM

Simple solution. ONly sponsor revenue sports. -- chuckd4vt 02/17/2017 11:22AM

Might be able to cut some, but athletic teams draw attention to the U and -- Stech 02/18/2017 10:22AM

You sponsor minimal amount of women's sports to be compliant. -- chuckd4vt 02/17/2017 12:56PM

Sport count isn't a req. per se, it's the result of other reqs. i.e., -- daveinop 02/18/2017 10:30AM

Minimal sports to keep compliant. -- chuckd4vt 02/18/2017 12:52PM

I believe college follows the HS model, so you could say 2 sports -- VTHokie2000 02/17/2017 12:31PM

If a sport makes money, sponsor it. If not, see ya. -- chuckd4vt 02/18/2017 12:49PM

Isn't football the hard part? -- Truthahn 02/17/2017 10:04AM
