Now Charlie Strong cutting half the team is starting to make sense.

It being every athlete and not just those of revenue sports is interesting.

There is no way in the world a school would be able to get away with paying only certain athletes.

I'd imagine groups could shut that down ASAP with Title IX laws. Any payments to athletes likely mean all athletes on varsity teams.

The Texas womens rowing team has over 40 athletes. Those athletes just hit the jackpot.

Exactly, more non revenue sports will be cut if this happens.

Yeah, that's true. Anyway, Texas is loaded & according to wikipedia, they only field 18 varsity teams. Seems manageable.

This line of argument has been used intellectually dishonestly by universities for years, though.

ECU cut its running team, which cost something piddly like $140k/year, citing economic troubles and then turned around and paid a multi-million dollar buyout to its head coach.

Shit like this happens over and over again.

Rutgers/Maryland faced so much pushback for cutting sports, but the thing with these schools is the nonrevenue sports aren't funded nearly enough, I know personally Rutgers nonfootball facilities are subpar for pretty much every sport.

Mind you Rutgers/Maryland also have way more sports than the average university, with Rutgers at 27.

edit. What i'm trying to say, is I believe that $140k is just trying to keep the lights on.

ECU as in East Carolina? Who did they pay a multi-million dollar buyout to? Skip Holtz left of his own volition and Ruffin McNeil has been there for 5 years. Was it a basketball coach?

Georgia Tech fans fans painted the arch yellow back in 1999.

Georgia fans usually prefer to paint their stadium red by outnumbering them in our games.

I was a student when that happened.

Too bad that's about the same time they ceased being an in-state rival.

Not a B1G fan, but clearly The Minnesota mascot is the best because it's the only one that doesn't look like its from a 1920's cartoon or some badger/buckeye head that is 4 feet wide.

The rivalry with UGA ended in the late 50s. For some reason we still play the game though.

What would they cut while staying in compliance with Title IX? The school has to offer the same amount of scholarships between men's and women's sports.

There's a ton of male nonrevenue sports still out there as well. They're first on the chopping block.

ADs hate doing this, the pushback from those sport alumni is not something you want to deal with.

Yeah, things have changed. Now it just consists of them being obsessed with us, and us not caring about them until the one week out of the year when we have to.

OSU suing former OL coach Joe Wickline (saying he owes them buyout money since he's not calling plays at Texas) and New Mexico State University (for using their mascot image).

We need you to do a Pristine impersonation about that New Mexico State bit.

Lunar15 · Oct 23, 2014

SBNation has the police report on Harris. Honestly, regardless of what actually happened, guy doesn't seem like a real class act.

Then again, it'd be hypocritical of me to be uncomfortable with this when we had tons of real ugly stuff going on during the Meyer years.

I always love it when UGA fans go out of their way to talk about Tech and bash Tech and then claim we are obsessed with them. Can't wait for our weekly Georgia Tech news from andycapps who is not obsessed with GT at all.

B) For making fun of Penn State's weird, sad attempts to make us their primary rival (and vice-versa)
