REPORT: New NCAA Title IX Equal Pay Ruling WILL Create NIL CHAOS Again! Will Donald Trump Fix It?

Locked On Baylor - Daily Podcast on Baylor Bears Football & Basketball

The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has issued new guidance that will significantly impact how colleges distribute revenue-sharing payments to student-athletes.

Key Changes:

• NIL as Athletic Financial Aid: The OCR clarifies that NIL payments provided by schools are considered "athletic financial assistance" under Title IX.
• Equal Distribution Mandate: This means schools must distribute NIL payments proportionately to male and female athletes to ensure gender equity, regardless of the revenue disparities between men's and women's sports.
• Focus on Proportionality: The emphasis shifts from equal amounts to equal opportunities for male and female athletes to benefit from NIL arrangements.

Impact:

• Challenges for Revenue-Generating Sports: This guidance could pose challenges for revenue-generating sports like men's basketball and football, where athletes may have more lucrative NIL opportunities.
• Increased Scrutiny on NIL Practices: Schools will need to carefully review their NIL policies and practices to ensure compliance with Title IX.
• Potential for Legal Challenges: The new guidance may lead to legal challenges from schools, athletes, and advocacy groups.
