Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3993964, member: 1414"] I think they will find out pretty quickly that except for a few players in a couple of sports, none of these players have any actual market wage value that even approaches the cost of a scholarship. You could roll out the exact same guys who play in UConn uniforms on one of Kevin Ollie's teams and I wouldn't watch, and few people would. People are cheering for the laundry, the brand, the logo. In short, if the players have expectations that they are going to get wages above what they get now, I think 99% of them are wrong. The vast majority of D1 programs lose money. Most P5 ADs lose money. I'm thinking U Hartford probably made the right move, and others will now follow them. Title IX is going to be fascinating. Because if you can now pay players based on their abilities, and their market value, then each of these schools would necessarily be sending almost all of that additional money to men. [/QUOTE]
