For sure, that's why I am saying she is taking on not only a monumental task of almost a total rebuild (both the 2025 and 2026 classes are almost empty), but the huge risk of uncertainty around the longevity of the program. If I was a coach, that risk better be factored into either compensation...
Idk, color me skeptical, not in her ability to be a great head coach, but in Cal's overall commitment to the program. Cant wait to see the contract they gave her, because she is taking on a lot of risk. Even if the program wasn't in jeopardy of being cut, she almost has to get bodies for 2025...
I really think not much is going to change this first year plus or minus. There are too many new and unknowns, so I can see many athletic departments keeping the athletics side of things frozen in place while they see what type of new revenue sources they can come up with before having to...
I think the lack of action, even just a statement from the Cal athletic department is just telling recruits "we are shutting the program down". They may not have anyone in the 2026 class
Scholarship money and revenue money are different. Revenue money is more akin to NIL than scholarship. It is money that gets paid directly to the athlete. Now the athlete could turn around and use it to pay tuition but it is not considered a scholarship that is funded by the athletic...
I think this is the continued march toward the haves (SEC. Big10) and the have-nots (All other conferences). The haves will fund up to the roster limit of those scholarships. They will be more attractive to athletes and we will see more girls that will fill the benches.
Title IX all falls under the same civil rights umbrella that broadly means equal access to education for men and women. That is why sexual harassment gets Title IX scrutiny because if women or men feel unsafe to attend classes then it is no longer equal access. When the Trump admin does away...
Again. schools are already operating under the settlement agreement. Before the judge even created the initial delay she said everything was acceptable to her to approve EXCEPT the grandfathering. So everything else is/has been moving forward. The NCAA has put together the oversight board for...
Ya, the Trump admin did eliminate the rules around Title IX and protections for accusers, making it more difficult for women (and some men) to come forward and pursue claims. These rules were put in place by Biden and reverted back by Trump. They certainly havent eliminated it but I think we...
The most obvious thing is that there is going to be a trial. That 100% will happen if a settlement is not reached. I am not a lawyer, but I have been involved in litigation and what the universal thing that lawyers facing a trail say is YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO TRIAL, because anything can...
