The Title IX accounting has always been a little skirting the edges.

Part of it is the role football plays in the math. In virtually all sports, there's a 1-for-1 equivalency. Men's and Women's Basketball, Baseball and Softball, etc. But there isn't a 100 person roster sport that's exclusively played by females. So you see track teams and rowing teams just packed with names.

as I've said a billion times, the two root causes of every shady thing in the world of the NCAA are (a) football and (b) TV money.

You can never say it enough either. They are crooked AF and really need to be investigated

You don't NEED an investigation. The NCAA as an organization is powerless and at the mercy of its members; which are the schools themselves, who are in an "arms race" with each other. For money.

The schools have little to any control of the NCAA. It runs itself and there is some very creative accounting. The schools don't get much of it.

What? The schools ARE the NCAA. Every NCAA decision is a vote of membership at that level; the NCAA's "committee for ______" are just ADs/Presidents of schools.

The schools don't get much of the NCAA money? Virtually the entire NCAA budget comes from the Men's Basketball TV contract for March Madness (And the ESPN contract for the other championships); and after paying for staff and operations of the championships, the NCAA gives the rest of the money to the member schools.

That's why MAKING (and winning in) the NCAA men's basketball tournament is a huge deal, you get a revenue share for each game you play in the dance.
