Two different issues

First, we dont have the money to pay because schools established a system where they did not need to pay the players and then spent the money in other ways.

The question I would ask is why (ignoring title IX) you think it is right for basketball and football players to be required to work for the same scholarship the non-revenue athlete gets. If you owned a company that had 4 subs 2 made money and two lost money would you tell the employees of the profitable companies sorry I cant pay you more because I need to pay those people?

From your postings on other boards here I know that is not an idea you support.

If these issues are not dealt with well it may mean the end of college sports as we know it but that is more a refelction that college sports did not change its system to reflect the changes it went through.
