With this decision schools are forced to share the revenue that is generated by the college athletes.
I wouldn't be surprised if the schools are going to feel the pinch of that lost revenue and it is going to trickle down to athletes in the lesser programs.
When the football and basketball players are skimming half of the schools take, that lost money is going to mean a lot of field hockey, lacrosse, diving and maybe gymnasts etc. could see their sport put on a pay your own way set up.
If your sport can't generate enough of a gate, it may be gone.

You’re forgetting about Title IX, which is still in place. Many universities with mediocre sports programs have opted to disband their football teams if they don’t have the money for the lesser programs. But universities just cannot cancel programs they want willy-nilly. They have to factor gender equity.

I’m trying to figure out how that could be a bad thing?
