NCAA looks like they may have overplayed their hand. While I've been done with the NCAA for a while, this may truly be the beginning of the end.

As a non revenue athlete and a cfb fan, the non revenue question is incredibly tricky. How do we implement a fair standard that prevents swimming, tennis, golf, archery etc. not be sacrificed to the cfb gods? Title ix is a great example of how NOT to guarantee that fair means a future for every team and there's no real good example as far as I'm aware. As much as I love cfb, it's continued expansion cannot be allowed to jeopardize the future of other collegiate sports. I think there is continued value in sports to academic institutions. Both for the institution as advertising and for athletes as sports repeatedly prove to be beneficial for cognitive development (outside of tbis of course). Plus I think it's a great way to train sports medicine majors, a field that will hopefully continue to have some level of demand until we upload our collective conscious into the cloud. cfb and cbb aren't going anywhere anytime soon in the meantime and we should continue to leverage that for our other collegiate programing, especially non revenue sports. But I also don't have a solution
