“Without a credible legal justification, the Biden administration said that the null agreements between schools and athletes are similar to financial aid and, therefore, must be distributed proportionally among male and female athletes under title IX. 50 years old, title IX says anything about how athletics programs that generate income should assign compensation among athletes. ”
The nine -page previous memorandum Released on January 16, a few days before President Donald Trump assumed the position, made the payments null subject to the regulations of Title IX. Universities were told that null compensation should be treated as any other financial aid available for athletes, such as scholarships, regardless of sex.

That does not exist,” he continued Trainor. “Consequently, the Biden Nil guide was terminated.”
Title IX requires that universities offer financial aid proportional to the number of students of each genre that sports on the campus. According to the previous guide, male basketball and football had to receive most of those funds.
