Let's assume for a moment that in next five years all college athletes will be paid at least minimum wage for all activities related to their sport (which I think is a really realistic assumption).
What percentage of athletics programs of four year schools (NCAA, NAIA, USCAA, NCCAA, ACCA) will close up shop?
What percentage of junior colleges athletic programs (NJCAA, NWAC, CCCAA) will close up shop?
My take is that fewer schools will drop sports than feared.
I expect at least 95% of Division 1 to keep sports. Many schools may downsize their ADs.
I am not sure about Division 2 but my best guess is that about 50% will keep sports at the D2 level, and another 30% will drop down to Division 3.
At the Division 3 level I think about 70% will keep sports.
I think it is very possible that all USCAA, ACCA, and NCCAA will drop sports.
As far as the NAIA, I think about 40% will keep sports.
At the junior college level, I think athletics will be a thing of the past.
