schools must provide male and female athletes with equal treatment and benefits. So if they pay football players they must pay women's basketball etc equally.

You have a daughter and a son. You have one pack of Reese's cups they want to eat (2 cups). You give each of them one.

Yes and no on your answer, it actually also has to do with the percentage of scholarships offered vs. your student body comp. UGA has always been heavier female > male so that has always led us to need more and more womens sports to complete the formula.

Not only that, but you have a new Dept of Ed coming in and they are going after Title IX anyway.

Also, with the Chevron deference standard case that SCOTUS ruled on last year, I am thinking this won't be an issue.

Substantively, it makes sense to say you have to have the same number of scholarships for men and women. Same amount for each. But, were you are paying athletes, and men athletes generated 95% of the money, the idea you would have to pay 50% to womens' sports is absurd.

My feeling is that the new administration is going to have differing opinions on this… this is more of a parting gift by the current admin, without true belief this will hold up. The more I dig into it, the more I wouldn’t worry about it.
