Title IX isn’t about sports though. Sports fall under Title IX, which is broader legislation. Having a class of employee that’s all men like football isn’t going to help get around Title IX at all.

According to Pollard, we have 2 years of budget before we have to start taking from other sources or deficit spending.
I think people who feel a sense of relief that Pollard's thriftiness has resulted in this 2 year window are still missing the point. That's money we won't be able to spend elsewhere. That's why it's urgent someone wraps some sense around this...now.
Well it's frustrating because half of the people I talk to have no idea why NIL would even be a bad thing, they just have no idea there is no awareness about the issue at all or that it could even potentially be an issue.
NIL would have been fine unlimited pay for play with no gaurdrails has been a disaster.
The 20 million payroll is going to be a heck of a hardship for a school with budgetary constraints like ISU IMO.
Tax the sportsbooks more is the first step.
He makes a really good point about the board of regents, I don’t have any confidence that they won’t turn Iowa state into Wisconsin platteville.
Alabama has seen an increase in enrollment in the Sagan years. It matters.
what really bothers me is none of this is really new. And from what I can tell legislatively nothing is happening in the state. Maybe I’m wrong as I live out of state now, but the legislative session is going to end soon and then it’s another year at least till something happens.
I prefer the Iowa Way TM of doing nothing then prosecuting the athletes for betting 10 bucks
If that were the answer, Iowa State would be selling beer. It's not a new idea. It's been looked at more than once and income minus expenses apparently doesn't make it worth doing.
Arizona was mentioned as an athletic department with $100-million in debt. Arizona sells beer in the stadium. It's simply not the answer to the problem.
The beer thing… I guarantee Jamie knows exactly how much it would net, and it simply won’t be enough to solve anything.
In addition — I suspect he doesn’t want to directly compete with potential food and bev tenants as they are trying to sign them up for CyTown.

half of college olympic sports teams are made up of foreigners training under our collegiate system.
t probably makes sense because he has to fund X amount of sports to maintain Big12 membership.
Yes, but Title 9 regulations for sports work a little differently. The university doesn't have to ensure a gender balance of faculty and staff like they have to do with athletic scholarships. They aren't balancing the male dominant comp sci department with the FCS program. Once all these athletes become employees, it is a different role than what they have been. And when all these schools are trying to make up millions in deficits, finding a way to get out of paying salaries for olympic sports, men and women, are going to look very appealing.
He also had a big controversy when he called fans "slobs" because he knew how much of a mess people would make. He also said that the stadium just simply isn't built for those kinds of lines for the bathroom or vendors, logistically it just wouldn't work.
