Apparently yesterday, the Department of Education made a ruling on the revenue sharing proposal that was agreed upon this past summer.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...-ix-memo-could-mean-for-revenue-share-future/ The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, which oversees Title IX enforcement, said in its guidance that revenue share payments would be considered "athletic financial assistance" and thus should be divided "proportionally" between male and female athletes. This is significant because many athletic departments were not planning on divvying up that $20.5 million revenue share sum proportionally but instead giving the lion's share to the revenue-generating sports football and men's basketball.

My guess is that the new administration may have a different opinion on this matter, but in any case, I see further lawsuits ahead.
 
So that guidance is like the local Sherriff saying his town has a policy or a Court House stating they have a policy that some how Trumps the law or Constitution...imo
Glad that is how you feel but the law as written states what? How about you put out guidance that if you accept money you can't accept a scholarship and must pay to play at State or Federal funded Universities or better yet make it law! Have congress vote and the President John Hancock it!
