[QUOTE="grue2, post: 1935453, member: 747155"] I'm curious as to your reasoning. To me, this seems like cable TV bundling. Everyone is forced to pay for the channels that the don't care about. Time to cut the cord. My view: NIL was for athletes to share in the profits. The non-revenue sports are, as far as I know, all losing money to various degrees. Those athletes are already getting a (partial) free ride and free training in something they like to do. Nothing is stopping the very top non-revenue sport athletes from getting their own deals. Are there non-revenue athletes where improving the team a bit would turn it into a revenue sport (by more than the amount spent)? [/QUOTE]
