Weiberg announces which sports will be included in OSU’s rev share.

Surprised soccer was included and not golf

Is Golf considered a ticketed sport? Not sure why it would be relevant, but Chad’s statement explicitly stated “ticketed sports”.

So other than the PFB article here I know nothing about the court case that has been signed off and any of the details around it. But based on the PFB article alone it appears that the current problems with college sports are far from being fixed. I’m not even sure if this final ruling is even a good first step.

I guess it’s not so my bad.

How, in the name of Title IX, is 75-15-5-5 legal?

Just seems like we’re back to the future. Lawyers are going to get rich off this deal.

The football and men’s basketball program need all the revenue they could possibly get right now.

It’s interesting that golf is not part of the money sports. We give money to wrestling as well we should as it’s the most successful program in history. Not every school has wrestling. So what happens if say a good golf school begins paying golfers? How will we recruit against that? I mean even if they just offer50k. The sports that pay to play will begin to get the best recruits. Football & Basketball don’t t matter because everyone will pay the players. This will become very interesting how to keep up with the Jones.

I thought the same thing. At one point the Department of education said that because of Title IX the payments would have to be split evenly among men and women. Although some one else said that Totle IX has to give the same opportunity for women but not necessarily compensation. I don’t know either way, but yes there will be lawsuits.

75% (football): $15.3 million
15% (men’s basketball): $3 million
5% (women’s basketball): $1 million
5% (wrestling, baseball, softball, w soccer): $1 million or about $250,000 each

And now break that down into scholarship players on a team.
Football 105
Wrestling 30 (up from 9.9)
Soccer 28
Men’s Basketball 15
Women’s Basketball 15
Softball 12
Baseball 11.7

So football has 7 times as many players as basketball and 5 times the money.

How come baseball/softball has so few scholarships. That would be like offering 6 or 7 in basketball.
