To put it all in perspective, how do they each fare within their timeslots?

Are their national games against other AAC teams or their OOC games? Can't just compare those numbers directly. It's an apples/oranges thing. It'd be interesting to know but it'd be a bit of work. Still doesn't change my point that BYU is definitely well above average for viewership among FBS teams.

This is a Cat 5 hurricane through college sports. Tough to overstate how heavily

...especially when combined with Title IX requiring funding for women's sports

Not sure I understand your comment in this context.

You are completely missing the implications here…. There now is no reason NOT

I guess my point was that costs just went up for ALL sports.

6/21/21 10:46am

This I agree with. Unless the school treats all sports the same in regards to

I hope you’re right, I just don’t see a scenario where schools don’t find a way

Plenty of case law out there suggesting it has to apply equally as far as I know

My money is on CFB team doing what they must to get players rather than lawyers

Probably a good bet.

It just nuked most G5 programs and will widen the divide between haves and have nots. Time for another Division.

6/21/21 8:44am

A new division was a totally viable solution yesterday. Today it's meaningless.

Can someone give me a TLDR? I have no clue what this is about.

The NCAA cannot require college athletes remain "amateurs". They are allowed

StarMan

SCOTUS just ruled that the NCAA can't limit how much "education related"

I think this kills BYU. The BOT will not be cool with upping the arms race.

6/21/21 8:56am

The one area where BYU athletes could do well is sponsorships

I worry we overstate the fanbase; we don't get the viewers other schools do, so

krindorr

yeah that may be true

nc-puma

'we don't get the viewers other schools do' What other schools?

ManicBlue

Memphis, UCF, Cincy, Utah, TCU, West Virginia

krindorr

6/21/21 3:09pm

No those schools don't outdraw BYU. It's their opponents that are the draw.

ManicBlue

6/22/21 1:23am

Wait I've been told Independence gives us higher profile opponents than AAC play

krindorr

6/22/21 6:37am

Check the time slots. Makes a huge difference.

ManicBlue

6/22/21 9:22am

Oh absolutely; they get better time slots

They put BYU in the late time slot because they can based on location and

ManicBlue

6/22/21 3:55pm

Their national games are mostly AAC, BYU's all P5/bowls; no time slot data

krindorr

6/22/21 4:45pm

Again without the time slot data ... apples and oranges right?

Not a single BYU student athlete will suffer from Hashimotos

I would love to disagree with you. But I can't.

6/21/21 9:09am

It depends on how education related benefits is going to be defined. Hopefully Congress does that quickly.

6/21/21 9:13am

I doubt congress gets involved.

Kinda, but saying one thing and doing it are two different things.

6/21/21 6:43pm

As if the education they received wasn’t devalued enough as it was… pathetic

Pretorian

6/21/21 10:05am

Aren't education related expenses already defined through 529 savings plans law?

It is ALSO a consistent ruling based on natural law. But the real caution...

Not so because the work for pay rule is more likely the law herre.

What's the fascination with natural law? And why do you think it applies here?

Will athletes negotiate with Agents the terms of support with the school?
