Trans athletes and NCAA

Alma, wrong again. There is not a college athletics program out there where women's sports are making a profit. There are VERY few men's programs generating a profit.

Yeah, I didn't say profit. I said revenue.

There are generally two sports, per school, that make a profit = football and MBB. LSU baseball might. UConn WBB might. Not many.

But there is a revenue opportunity with several women's sports. And revenue is revenue. Especially in the era to come.

And let's be clear: Schools aren't going to be cutting women's sports, no matter how much Starman insists his nightmares might be real. Not happening.

Schools will not be cutting women's collegiate sports before cutting many men's sports. The revenue, the reputation around women's athletics, the graduation rates. Again: I'll take the bet.

Most football schools do not make a profit.

Remember, they're also going heck bent for leather to shut down the Department of Education, which administers and enforces Title IX overall, so you can bet shortly thereafter female sports will be widely cut at every level, which they've wanted since the Seventies

That's going to cost a lot more girls scholarships than the tens of trans athletes out there might.

I saw a picture of Trump signing the EO surrounded by a bunch of young girls, some of whom looked like they were early elementary school age. How were they told about transgender people? I thought by Republican logic, talking about transgender people is sexualization.

Why are MAGAs OK with Trump sexualizing those girls?

The reputation and graduation rates don't mean shirt when the football team needs a new weight room or NIL money.

Also, Title IX's role in helping protect female students from sexual harassment and assault is very important. Schools just can't turn a blind eye to reports of such violence.

Sure they can, in the age of MAGA.

If the Department of Education goes away, it will be left up to the individual states and local governing boards to deal with sexual harassment and aggression, and some places will be more lenient than others.

The law's not getting repealed, is it?

By "NIL" do you mean the revenue sharing to come? Or the collectives overseeing what amounts to pay for play? Or a student athlete's ability to make money off their name, image and likeness?

This is the same stupid argument I keep seeing elsewhere. No, the law isn't going away, but it's like a national chain of stores taking away their security cameras. In some places, things will still be fine. In others, shoplifters will pick some shelves clean because they know nobody is watching.
