College sports as we know it are done.
I miss our old challenges. Men's sport funding we were hampered more by the Cal Now agreement. "To be in compliance, the percentage of female athletes at a school has to be within 5 percentage points of the percentage of females on that CSU school's campus. There are also similar scholarship and spending percentages that must be met." Basically, we averaged 60% female enrollment, so we had to have 55% of our athletes be women and spend 55% of dollars on womens sports and scholarships on women.
Title IX you can show progress or that you are fulfilling the campus desire for athletics for females, which is how a lot of schools stay in compliance. In early 2000's I remember seeing our 55% spending on women's sports, and then seeing Berkeley was around 36%, and applied for progress as their criteria every year.
With how this is progressing, I don't think the education system will put up with it much longer. Only the deepest of donor groups can sustain this. Berkeley is massively in debt for example. So is SDSU after the stadium effort. But groups like the Mountain West or American athletic will struggle as well. Hell even P4 teams like NC State probably will.

On second read, there are some larger changes in women's scholies, BUT they are pretty much matched with men's scholie maximums.There will be lots of applied math to achieve Title IX Previous Message
Whether you are a mid- major, a P4, or other football playing non-P4, all still need to abide by Title IX proportionality. What Beackbacker has shared with old and new scholie limits, I don't see any women sports proportionality. For example. baseball to 34, softball to 25. No significant changes in WVB, WBB and WTKF?
Has this truly been thought out by the NCAA? Previous Message
Not sure if this is accurate but some other boards have stated that if the school opts in for the new shared revenue model then you have the stated roster limits you have posted; however, if you stay in the old model, non revenue share, then you are bound by the existing scholarship limits. I hope that is not true because the P4 get all the benefits in their favor and the others still have scholarship and not roster limits.
I believe that LBSU needs to go back to selective excellence and evaluate which programs can continue with some success and fund those at a much higher level which may mean cutting some budgets or some sports all together. Either way time will tell and tough decisions need to be made along the way. Previous Message
The numbers of scholarships that can be given in each individual sport is to be increased significantly.
The sports for us to be effected:
Old New
MVB 4.5 18
WVB 12 18
WT 6.5 14
SB 12 25
SOC 14 28
TK 12.6 45
WTK 18 45
BVB 6 19
MBB 13 15
WBB 15 15
BB 11.7 34
MWP 4.5 24
WWP 8 24
This is not good for us. It means that all the rich schools can just stock up on more athletes that normally might go to The Beach.
