In reply to: Treat all athletes the same...? posted by MrE
applies to student athletes who are deemed employees, then I would compose it of people with their backgrounds. My (non lawyer) opinion is the opposite and I think it is common sense that Title IX was never intended to include any class of people deemed employees. Those student athletes not deemed employees will still fall under Title IX.
"Title IX was never intended to include any class of people deemed employees."
You realize Title IX covers a lot more than athletics, right? The notion that Title IX doesn't cover employees is . . . not close.
Hopefully there is a path that doesn’t destroy most Olympic sports at Universities. Paying football & basketball players the market value they deserve will significantly reduce the money available for those other sports.
for example, perhaps trimming some of the bloated AD staff could free up some money.
correct me if I'm wrong, but the salary structure of employees doesn't have to balance out, does it? Do we need a female employee making north of 3 million dollars per year to balance out our AD? How about balancing out what we pay Freeman (which is more than that)?
The title 9 argument is and always has been a red herring.
