• Additional on Title IX applying to payments to athletes

I’m putting this here because I do not care to be involved in the separate thread started this morning on UFFP about Title IX. Three different posters have commented so far in that thread. My thoughts are from an angle that is seemingly different than theirs.
An NCAA Basketball coach in South Carolina, Coach Dawn Staley, has now been made the highest paid female coach in NCAA Basketball. $4,000,000.00 annual salary for 6 years.
So … what I am curious about is: how do the NIL receipts of the players on her team compare with the NIL receipts of players on other basketball teams whose coaches make less than Coach Staley makes?
… and how do the NIL receipts of the players on her team compare with the NIL receipts of players of other sports, regardless of what sports and which gender they involve?
… these comparisons would include players within AND beyond Coach Staley’s school and conference.
I do not really expect people on here to know much about this, but I am interested in knowing, if someone would be able to enlighten us.

Why not let the free market decide, if someone wants to pay certain women to play for their school (ie. at South Carolina) then let them have at it, why does this need to be something our idiotic government gets involved with?
If a player deserves money, the money will find them.......................
For most schools who generate ZERO profit from women's sports and don't have donors who care to give money towards that, why should they have to start paying women's players NIL?

I did not say there is any problem. I am actually just wanting to know. You should have no argument against that.
Now don’t “go off on me” about this either, please. I just looked up and found the following about men’s college basketball salaries.
The $4,000,000.00 per year for Coach Staley is being considered and IS something amazing and historic. Yeah, it is.
And here’s what I found just 20 minutes ago. There are 19 coaches of men’s college basketball teams earning salaries of $4,000,000.00 per year and above - many WAY above (see Bill Self, etc.); and there are another 23 coaches of men’s college basketball teams earning salaries of between $3,000,000.00 and $4,000,000.00 per year.
I do understand free market.
I also certainly hope that Furman can continue to pay our coach a salary high enough to keep him here. (Lamont Paris did very well for himself by moving to USC. And Brad Brownell may be underpaid, even though he lost again this year to USC.)
Most of what I am saying is “just curiosity” comments, wanting to know, and not looking to adamantly argue some point about anything.
Why is this off base for discussion?
I just think it’s very interesting for discussion.
OK?
If we’re wanting to argue politics and laws and ERA Amendment to the US Constitution, I would not want to do that on UFFP.
I just want to know “what is”.
By the way, I think I just read on UFFP a couple of days ago that JP Pegues is sitting on the bench at Auburn now (instead of producing for Furman) and getting about $200,000.00 for doing that.
