Iowa/Swarm Split?

Lol, the extent to which some dudes let their college fandom affect their daily lives is nothing short of baffling. But also really, really funny.

Go play with your kids fella.
I don't get it. It's potential news in the in state rivals section and if true is one of the bigger NIL controversies that's happened so far. Does that not warrant talking about in the IRS section? There's plenty dumber threads than this one on Hawkeye boards talking about Iowa State
 
It will be interesting to see the battle between Title IX and the Olympic sports VS the money-making sports. No school is going to be able to provide an equal amount to all athletes, so choices are going to have to be made at many universities.
How long is it going to be before a person on one of the sports that makes little money, sues for an equal share of what football and basketball players are receiving?

Who are they going to sue? The collective? Donors? And on what grounds? Certainly not T9.
 
Strange deal. Would Iowa’s comments on Title IX have anything to do with previous lawsuits they faced? Seems interesting that now of all times they are concerned with that. Just a weird situation all around.

He’s had a rough week. When all you’ve got is the “why do you care so much?” card, it’s time to stop posting and wait for your rival to have something bad happen to them.

Give it some time, its going to occur. I would say that the athletes in the non-revenue sports will sue the collective to get their "equal share" of the revenue.

When the school is sharing their data base of season ticket holders, and providing that information to the collective, then it's difficult to say that that the school and the collective are separate parties. Why would the EIU athletic department refuse to give the season ticket holders list to the collective if they were not concerned about Title IX problems in the future, like they have had in the past?

This is America, you can sue anyone, that does not mean you are going to win the case but does EIU want to have another public relation problem over woman's sports and the Olympic sports, their actions today, says they are not willing to fight that fight.
 
It’s certainly understandable that U of I, and specifically GarBar , could be a little gun shy about running afoul of Title IX laws. The timing is pretty strange though.

Gonzo, follow your daughters lead...
 
This is actually interesting to follow....as I understand schools can now affiliate with collectives ..what does that relationship look like for stuff like title ix? I know the rules are being written (or no rules) as it still evolves.
