Not sure how Horizon League schools will be able to keep so many D1 sports other than men and women's basketball.
Even the big boys like Ohio State may drop programs because the SEC has on average 20 sports teams compared to Big 10's 30. Fewer teams, more dollars available to the more important ones.

You can’t just have a men’s and women’s basketball team. You have to sponsor a certain number of D1 sports to be D1. Wright State is at the bare minimum already.

The article implies the funds will come from a portion of the TV money and ticket sales. This shouldn't affect how many sports you have, since most all the TV money and ticket sales is going to football and men's basketball, with a few exceptions. Players on the golf, tennis, swimming teams, etc, aren't going to be seeing much money because the TV revenue isn't there.
The HL basketball players won't be getting paid much from our conference's 5 or so ESPN2 games, and not much from ticket sales either, but they will get something. It just will continue the trend of players always wanting to transfer to bigger conferences, where they will get paid more as they are now under the NIL.

It definitely affects how many sports you have. All athletes now get paid something.

My kids played soccer but why does Wright State have men's soccer when very few SEC schools have one. When these autonomous bigger schools break apart, the NCAA and their requirements will no longer exist. Theses new rules will be more exponentially disruptive than NIL was.

Kind of seems like the beginning of the end of college sports as we know it. At least for the big conferences, its now becoming just another minor league pro league.
The next big lawsuit will go after why is eligibility limited to 4 years? Someone will argue if I'm still enrolled as a student in my 12th year, I should still be able to play. COVID already broke this precedent of playing a max of 4 years.

What we now call Division 1 sports will be indistinguishable from today's youth travel sports/AAU....maybe it is already to an extent

Give an inch and they'll take a mile. Next big thing could be to transfer between fall and winter semester. A kid has a great out of conference run in November and December for a mid-major and then change schools over Christmas break to finish up the year at a Power Five school.

How long until someone challenges the limits on college athletic eligibility?
