Oregon Title IX Lawsuit Puts NIL Collectives in Crosshairs

Sex discrimination case filed by beach volleyball players and club rowers is the first to seek damages for gender discrepancies beyond athletic aid.

Female athletes file lawsuit against University of Oregon's Sports Consortium claiming discrimination and are asking the courts for a remedy.

Consortium....


Lawsuit seems to me to be a bit frivolous in some respects. Men's programs are going to eat up more athletic-department money because they are bigger sports--especially football--and require much more spending. You take a football team on the road and you're talking about probably flying, feeding and housing 125 + people. The stadium requires far more personnel, etc. etc.

How many P5 programs in America have beach volleyball? Has to be a tiny number.

NIL collective funds are not “athletic department money.” It cannot be used for travel money, stadium maintenance and the like. It can only be distributed to athletes as payment for use of their name, image and likeness.

It’s a very interesting legal issue. Whether collective funds must be distributed to all scholarship athletes on an equal basis without discrimination?

Let’s look at SCar wbb as an example of what collective money is. Fans and companies donate to a collective or different collectives. The school pay collective fund of 25 k to all wbb players. This year, a total of $275.00 for 11 players. Kamilla Cardoso’s has individual deals worth a lot more. However, This lawsuit is only about the collective NIL money. Not individual NIL money.

UT has collective money in trust. Is it distributed equally to all UT sports? Doubtful. Does a women’s soccer player get the same distribution as a football player? Doubtful. (Again, remember we are only talking about collective, not individual NIL funds) Does Title IX require it? Does it require all of a schools collective money be split 50/50 between men’s and women’s sports? No

This is going to be a very interesting case and could provide clarity that NCAA has failed to provide

Frankly, I'm waiting for a few billionaires to start a 6-8 team league of paid 18-22 year olds which is a farm-league to the NFL. No school required - at all. Each player gets $500k and the rosters are loaded with 4 and 5* players. Yes, I know Nico got $8M - use whatever number you want higher than $500k. It will be the "elite" players in all positions in this age group. X-NFL coaches will be on the sidelines coaching each team. They play each other twice in the season for a total of between 10-14 games.

Cities will bid on the teams being in their cities - much like the Olympics.

Think I'm crazy?

Who would have thought 5-10 years ago that a 19 year-old-player who happens to be a QB would get paid $8M because of his associations with UT? No one - that's who.

The NIL genie is out of the bottle.

So they are filing a suit to force a private entity to follow rules that apply to federal dollars? That probably will fly in Oregon sadly.

Why does a School have collective money? NIL was supposed to allow players to get a few bucks for an autographed jersey or similar to prevent the issue where Todd Gurley got into “trouble”. I know some schools have a $300,000 dollar NIL fund for football players that perform in classroom, games, and other areas. It supposedly is not guaranteed but earned. That is not the intent of NIL. If Jaylin Hyatt can get paid by a Hyatt Hotels endorsement that’s great for use of his name and image. It should be private industry or business paying after a person is enrolled in the school. It is a mess that needs regulation and I typically hate most forms of regulation. There must be some stiff rules and guidelines put in place to prevent 10 or 12 schools controlling recruitment of top high school athletes.

I find it interesting people declare the end of college sports when athletes want a bigger share of the revenue but don't bat an eye when a school like Texas A&M pays $76 million to buyout the contract of a failed coach.

By the way, I happy to coach your team to a losing record for a 10th, heck a 1th, of that buy-out clause....

That’s why you stay in school and get your degree. Become a coach and get fired, pays well if you can land a job.

Schools do not have collectives. Collectives or a private enterprise associated with the school but not under school control
