Article here. Excerpt:

'Revenue sharing in college athletics is slated to begin next season, starting on July 1 (if the proposal is finalized in April, as expected), but a potential wrench has been thrown into the plans of programs across the country.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights put out a memo Thursday regarding Title IX and NIL, answering questions surrounding revenue sharing and Title IX.

As shared by Pete Nakos of On3, future revenue-sharing distributions from a school to its players for NIL rights are considered financial assistance, and if not divided proportionally among men and women athletes, schools would risk Title IX violations.

Nakos further reported that most programs were planning a distribution split that would have given 75% of revenue sharing to football, 15% to men’s basketball, 5% to women’s basketball and 5% to the remaining athletes. That, obviously, would not be Title IX compliant.'

Men earn money. Women want money but they don't really want to EARN it the way men do. So they find a way to get the money from men. Be it by allying w/ the state to get half (or more) of men's money in a divorce from a marriage wherein she contributed not a penny, to this case: women's sports bring in a fraction of what men's sports bring in yet they want well more than their proportionate share of it.

Same shit, different context.
