Congress will solve that problem.

I don't think that's a likely outcome

Indy Coug

Correct, which means if even one school decides to pay players, there's nothing

MyTwoCents

6/21/21 4:30pm

Only the big schools, the smaller schools that can’t afford too, can keep going

While true, it makes even smaller that small chance that a small school had to

Do you want a nicer locker room or an extra $20k a year?

You assume donations from boosters will stay the same. Why? If necessary to

They need to divide the division right now

Club sports are subject to Title IX as are intramural sports

Impact on women’s athletics?

BlackHawkCoug
