The following are a few changes I would like to see made in regards to college athletics: (1) Tax conference television revenue prior to it being distributed to member institutions. It is not right that the SEC has a $15 billion TV contract with CBS and no taxes will be paid on that revenue; (2) Tax revenue if your Athletic Department budget is over X dollars. We need to stop the “Arms Raceâ€; (3) Scrap the NCAA. Come up with a federal governmental regulatory body with true rule making authority and subpoena power; and (4) Form a committee to review Title IX. This is a complicated issue. I like the spirit of Title IX. However, I believe there are a lot of unintended consequences that have gone unaddressed for too long.
Despite record revenue there were only 12 Athletic Departments that even broke even last year. There is a dirty underbelly to recruiting. Iowa Staters need to continue to push for reform.
What legislative and regulatory changes do you recommend?
