Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Not that new, been a member for a few years. But I'm a lot more focused on Volnation than I was in the past. But I've always been a fan of Big Orange Country and sports in general. Is it me or has people contracted bitchitis over the last several months? I don't remember the forum being this negative and bitchy before!!
Happens about once a month for a few posters

Some VN posters lack perspective and think the world comes to an end whenever the football team loses, particularly when it's ugly.
 
The idea of rev sharing evenly with one sport that brings in 100 million and the other sport loses 2-5 million a year and gets bailed out by the 100 million a year sport is interesting to say the least
The revenue sharing should be covered from the $ the big sport donates to the other sports so they can exist.
 
They aren’t trying to force NIL Payments, from a 3rd party, to the girls.

There is a specific provision in the guidance that states that it includes NIL as well. Like everything else the Biden administration is doing right as they get into their moving vans, this will be reversed.

Title IX was always going to be a problem if the money was coming straight from the schools to the players. Title IX is very much alive, and it's going to be extremely difficult to overturn as it was a congressionally passed law that's been enshrined for a long time. Schools and their attorneys are going to have find some clever way of getting these funds out of being recognized as financial assistance, but that may open up the other pandoras box of considering the athletes employees of the universities. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.

Title IX does not govern the actions of third parties. That guidance is focused on NIL money from the schools, which may have been a workaround schools were trying to use to evade Title IX.

Please show me where I said it did. I said the idiotic guidance issued by the Biden Administration states that it applies to NIL.

If there’s any gray area, just distribute the money evenly based off of the percentage of what each sport brings in..
 
January 17, 1916.............
The birth of the PGA of America

On this date in 1916, a lunch invitation in New York evolved into what's now known as the Professional Golfers Association of America....an association I'm proud to be a member of since 1999.

Rodman Wanamaker was an ardent golfer and heir to Wanamaker's, a well-known Philadelphia department store. In 1914, there were just 41 golf courses nationwide, but by 1916, the sport was growing quickly. But the majority of the clubs at that time refused to admit professionals to their clubhouses.

But Wanamaker saw the public's growing enthusiasm for golf as the beginning of a national trend. He also saw a business opportunity: more golfers means more equipment, and if they bought that equipment at Wanamaker's, even better.

So what if there was a national organization of golf professionals, who could help promote interest in the game and grow the sport? On Jan. 17, 1916, Wanamaker invited a group of New York-area golf professionals, accompanied by several prominent amateur golfers, to a luncheon in the ninth-floor restaurant of the Wanamaker Store in New York City.

The minutes of that first informal gathering still exist in hand-written form. When that first meeting concluded, James Hepburn, a former British PGA secretary, had been named to chair a seven-member organizing committee. James Hepburn, John (Jack) Hobens, Jack Mackie, James Maiden, Gilbert Nicholls, Herbert Strong and Robert White were chosen to pursue the matter further, and an organization of American golf professionals took its first step toward becoming a reality.

Three months later, on April 10, 35 charter members -- including Walter Hagen -- met again to officially apply for membership into the fledgling PGA of America. Wanamaker donated $2,500 and a trophy toward the first PGA Championship, which was held later that fall at Siwanoy Country Club in Bronxville, N.Y.

The Association's first order of business was to establish the organization's objectives. The members agreed to the following:

  • Promote interest in the game of golf.
  • Elevate the standards of the golf professional's vocation.
  • Protect the mutual interest of its members.
  • Hold meetings and tournaments for the benefit of members.
  • Assist deserving unemployed members to obtain positions.
  • Establish a benevolent relief fund for deserving members.
  • Accomplish any other objective, which may be determined by the Association from time to time.
A century later, the more than 28,000 members of the PGA of America continue to dedicate themselves to the same goals set forth by Wanamaker in that initial meeting -- to promote and grow the game of golf.
