Why doesn't Tennessee have a gymnatics team?

In the setup being talked about, the school would pay all athletes a base salary seperate fm NIL. That's why they'll be dropping, and not adding non revenue sports.

I don’t doubt they’ll not add. I just question that they’ll cut sports programs. Those lesser competitive sports programs (or lesser income generating) student athletes certainly won’t get the agreements that the football qbs will get. It’s that damn capitalist principle again.

If they're have to pay all athletes, and I think they will, then maybe big schools like UT don't cut, but mid to smaller schools will have to cut. Revenue sports, also known as football, will be so expensive they'll have no choice. Smallest schools have already said they may have to end their programs altogether if forced to pay.

What was in the last proposal was actually socialism, providing base salary which would be equal across the board and come from the schools. UT is talking about paying 300 athletes 30K$ per year. Then of course the real Nico sized deals come from NIL, which schools don't fund. Capitalism and epically whacked donor priorities fund that.

Yeah. I’m not advocating they will add programs.!

Very relevant. This is the top revenue generating school in 2023 saying this.

Yes and if the biggest, richest schools are "slashing budget" for these sports, many other schools will end up cutting them altogether I'm afraid.

I heard that Robert California has been mentoring Eastern European female gymnasts for years. I sure he could direct them our way.
