Define athlete. Football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, men’s and women’s lacrosse, etc. Or would they try that with only football and basketball?

That would ruin college football even faster then it's current trajectory.

NCAA proposing new college athletics subdivision rooted in direct athlete compensation

SPORTS.YAHOO.COM

---

The NCAA will introduce a proposal that would grant certain schools more power to compensate athletes in a new way.

Entry into the subdivision requires a school to invest, at minimum, $30,000 per year per athlete into what is termed an “enhanced educational trust fund” for at least half of a school’s countable athletes. Schools would determine when athletes receive the amount, which, for four-year athletes, will total at least $120,000. Schools must continue to abide by the framework of Title IX, assuring that 50 percent of the investment be directed toward women athletes.

The new subdivision will remain under the umbrella of the NCAA, and its members will continue to compete for NCAA championships with others in Division I. Under the proposal, the NCAA maintains oversight of the existing national championship model across all Division I sports, except FBS football, which continues to operate under the rubric of the College Football Playoff, Baker writes in the letter.

More from the Ross Dellenger article:

Baker’s model is an anticipated step toward the long-ballyhooed separation of the NCAA’s high-revenue producing athletic departments from their lower-resourced brethren. While all schools are eligible to join the subdivision, the proposal would likely force a formal split within the Football Bowl Subdivision of the Power Five, soon-to-be Power Four, conferences: the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12.

We're already on the higher end iof the "g5" revenue curve, and the stadium will enhance that. If we can juice up the revenue via the stadium (concessions, parking, other events) and boost fundraising, could we make it?

It is comical to see all these politicians & media types cry over FSU not finishing over Bama, Mich, Wash, or Texas. FSU offense is mediocre at best without their star QB. Anyone watching FSU struggle against UL who lost to UK could see that. Feel like we are in the twilight zone lol: FSU will lose by over two Touchdowns to UGA in the Orange Bowl if they decide to play. Case closed…

Yes and I expected to be a close game as they are rivals. It was kind of like how UCiF got lucky and beat USF in 2022. I also watched Bama destroy LSU. Watched Bama destroy UK. Watched Bama beat UGA. Watched FSU struggle vs BC, Miami, UF, UL. They are not that great. And I doubt they beat anyone in top 10 without their star QB

Yes.  Will we have to go independent if we opt-in and the rest of our conference mates don't?
