I appreciate people's opinions on this but they are just that, opinions. Same with me. There is alot of speculation as to what might happen and how schools will adjust their programs moving forward. I have been reading alot of articles about this as well as talking to my daughters college coach (he is also speculating because decisions will be made above him) What I don't see being discussed here is the amount of money the power schools are on the hook for. From the lawsuit they will pay around $40 million a year for the next 10 years to former student athletes. They will also have to profit share moving forward which is around $20 million a year (I believe $22mil is the cap)...I know the power programs have alot of money but $60 million a year is a huge hit for any business. From I have read those schools will have the biggest cuts to non-revenue generating programs. Just because a power school can have 28 scholarships doesn't mean they will spend the $ on womens soccer.

Revenue sharing notwithstanding, non-power 4 schools are on the hook for a larger percentage of the settlement. Even those without football. Mostly due to basketball.

I think that was largely driven by “equivalency” scholarship limits which have been eliminated

Schools are still on the hook for women's sports based off the men's and with the added scholarships in football, baseball and basketball you now have 44 more potential full scholarships. Schools would have to cut men's sports deep before they could really do much to the women's side especially soccer since it is one of the more popular sports.
