Competitive Equity : Can There Be Balance between Athletes’ Rights and a Level Playing Field?
Competitive equity in college sports is often presented as requiring a cap on the maximum value of an athletic scholarship. But even a cursory look at the recruiting successes across college sports (especially the marquee sports of football and basketball) shows that the same dominant schools already get the lion's share of the talent, year after year, and go on to win the lion's share of the championships too.The economics of competitive balance shows most limits on athlete pay have little effect on balance and may harm it. Combined with Title IX – applied to athletic scholarship but not to other forms of athletic spending – limits on scholarships transfer wealth from athletes, male and female, to schools and other stakeholders. The process is inefficient and regressive, as money flows from the poor to the well off.A radical change in the economics of college sports – substantially more redistribution of revenue combined with mandatory spending for smaller schools – could improve competitive balance, but would encourage inefficient overspending in small markets and underspending in large. College sports could also end all limits on compensation to students who play intercollegiate sports. Competitive Balance would remain about the same, but the inefficiencies and inequities of the present system would be much reduced
