Would Congress pick a cap of X dollars? Maybe because that would be dumb.
If the inclination were to exist to cap, the smart way would be a cap of a certain amount per full time equivalency scholarship awarded. That would provide incentive to have a lot of sports and lot of scholarship athletes.
The problem the Feds have is that athletics with Title 9 only worked because football/basketball money could easily pay the freight. If your going to require that football/basketball be run like a business---then you cant require the schools to operate money losing programs. Its either a business or its an amateur student athlete competition. It cant be both. As the sport is pressed on the legalities of its current structure----we have moved t the point where its going to have to be one or the other (either a business or a amateur student athletic competition). The only other options is for government to create a special legal anti-trust envelope specifically for college athletics that would allow it to continue to exist in something similar to its current form.
You're going to get so many angry tweets from Polly and Sarah for cancelling their field hockey. Like 10 moms from the team were going to watch the next game you know.
