Universities cutting sports, others adding ahead of $2.8 billion NCAA antitrust settlement
- Over the past three months, multiple universities across the U.S. Have added or dropped sports programs amid upcoming NCAA changes tied to a $2.8 billion settlement.
- These actions stem from financial pressures, increased expenses, and the need to maintain compliance with Title IX, which mandates gender equity in athletics.
- Schools like UTEP, Cal Poly, and Grand Canyon cut non-revenue or men’s sports, while programs such as women’s swimming were added at Marquette based on demographics and strategic considerations.
- Patrick Rishe indicated that in efforts to adhere to Title IX requirements, it is likely that men's sports without significant revenue generation are the most vulnerable to being cut, and he emphasized that all options remain open.
- These developments suggest a future of intensified competitive pressure where some top universities might form a separate entity, forcing smaller schools to re-evaluate their athletic programs.
