Today there is a very good article published in The Athletic about the very confusing and complicated issues in college sports caused by massive revenue, runaway spending, NIL rights for athletes, and the fact that Division I has institutions with athletics budgets from $2 million to $250 million -- in the same competitive division. The problem is primarily with football, and the money raised from and spent on football impacts all the other sports: the revenue from football (and basketball) impacts the other 14+ other sports and other 200+ athletes at each of the 350+ Division I members institutions, despite the budget size. Read it here.
The discussion is important for the future of college sports. Today, I travel to Indianapolis for the NCAA Convention. I will see some colleagues, and attend a session hosted by the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics on Thursday morning, at 8 am. The session is titled: "Remaking the NCAA, Beyond Constitutional Reform." The Knight Commission is the only organization that has proposed a solution to the mess in college sports, particularly from runaway spending: Its CARE Model: “Connect Athletics Revenues with the Educational Model of College Sports”). No other organization, not even the NCAA, has a plan. I know at least 70 will be in attendance, and nearly 300 have signed up to watch it online. If you can't make it and want to watch online, link here. It should be a fascinating and important discussion.
