The problem ? Money, of course. With the migration of Big Time college sports, especially football and basketball to a pro-like model, athletic departments are going to be hard pressed to still be able to fund non-revenue sports. The article points out how many Olympic Athletes come from non revenue NCAA sports. Its a good read.

The article points out how many Olympic Athletes come from non revenue NCAA sports. Its a good read. And something I have continually said is going to be a biproduct of the NIL, labor movement, paying of players. Time will tell. And it's not hard to understand that the Olympics have been built off of non-revenue sports (what we call non-revenue in the U.S.).

Compensation for Olympic sport athletes has continued to evolve. Prize money in the U.S. for earning medals is relatively small compared to things like NIL, but other compensation can reach six figures and more. I'm sure the NCAA will allow, if it hasn't already, NIL without restrictions for Olympic sports participants. I think smaller colleges/universities with good weather for outdoor sports, outstanding facilities and excellent coaching might be able to compete quite well with larger institutions in earning NCAA championships and recruiting/retaining Olympic sport athletes.

If a school can capitalize on their attendance (and they can) - they will now be additionally compensated via NIL. And like any sport - the stars will make much more than the others.

Spending cap I believe is going to be against the sum total of institutional and NIL money. But the power conference teams have a lot more sports and athletes than do the smaller conferences. The cuts could be a combination of sports and/or roster sizes. Football is a prime target with the most athletes and practice squads ballooning to 120-130. Then football will have the highest market demand generally for payments. Its the third inning on all of this. Alston case was inning 1. NIL collectives inning 2. NIL settlement was inning 3. Roster adjustments to support the settlement are probably next. Its going to be a few years before its fully fleshed out what it will mean for MAC athletics. Pay could go in the direction of the UFC where players earn "performance bonuses". Salaries will stop the transfer flow of players moving down even being on the bench at a power school.

There is Title IX so I don't think Olympic sports are going away. It may be scholarships are going away with all the student athletes making minimum wage and taking out student loans like everyone else. Having 5 swimmers on scholarship with 10 non-scholarship swimmers could be replaced by 12 paid swimmers. I'm optimistic because if they cut rosters its going to trickle more talent down to the MAC.

The United States is the only real place that not only has all the Natural Resources that it needs, but the population too. I don't see the NIL changes having any negative impact on the United States being able to compete Internationally down the road.

According to one prominent commencement speaker, we should only focus on men’s sports, women need to focus on having kids.
