I don't think you understand how Title IX works. Or maybe I don't, but those 85 scholarships already exist and are paid for by the schools. Title IX really has no bearing on the discussion imo.You implied paying for the 85 football scholarships for each D1 school. However, there is zero percent chance that happens without equal funds being distributed to women. Less than zero.As for sharing this with all the conferences/schools. I disagree with you. Without the Alabama's, Michigans, USC's there isn't any of this money, so the Central Michigan's should not get an equal share. Should the B1G & Pac share the Rose Bowl? Let everyone have a turn. That's ridiculous. They built that game into what it is today. They shouldn't share it with anyone. Honestly, the power conferences shouldn't share ANY of this money and the only reason they do is for scheduling purposes. And the fear of being sued.Title IX has nothing to do with this. I don't understand your implication. The new TV money isn't giving schools more mens sports, it can fully fund existing scholarships. I know that won't happen as basically the playoff was negotiated by 4 conferences and there is no way they will evenly distribute the money to schools in the MAC or MWC, but that is what they should do with the money.
The NCAA will be negotiating the TV deal from my understanding. Not the conferences. I aknowledge that the money won't be distributed evenly, but again to help the most schools and conferences it should. Your line of thinking would crush Iowa if the B1G embraced it. OSU and Michigan should gain more revenue from the B1G tv deal then.
