Today's NYT piece on the proposal:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/us/nc...posal.html

It is hard for me to imagine the non revenue sports surviving in this environment.  Large scale revenue sharing will mean that the money generated by football and men's basketball will go to athletes, not to the athletic budgets.  Up until now that revenue has funded the "non-revenue" sports.

I'm a dinosaur in love with the amateur ideal.  But even if I wasn't I would be alarmed that the changes being contemplated will destroy the model where a couple of wealthy revenue sports subsidize everything else, leaving precisely nothing to subsidize everything else.
