The harm that forcing female athletics on schools caused didn't hit cheap, popular sports like basketball. It hit expensive and/or unpopular sports like football (if their program isn't selling tickets effectively) and wrestling. There are hundreds of fewer wrestling programs these days (76 in division I), only 18 men's gymnastics remaining in all divisions combined (so they've made it just a single division sport), and so on.<br /><br />Meanwhile, you have ridiculous situations like there being over $9,000 in scholarship money for every single female high school rower as schools try to find ways to get enough female athletes in enough sports to be compliant.Carelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599829404066314019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374266320411149509.post-62043829466554396112009-04-22T16:55:00.000-04:002009-04-22T16:55:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Carelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15599829404066314019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374266320411149509.post-12317682368483607002009-04-17T19:46:00.000-04:002009-04-17T19:46:00.000-04:00I read the article by Christina Hoff Sommers in th...I read the article by Christina Hoff Sommers in the Washington Post and I thought it was amusing that she called Larry Summers the first "public victim" of these so-called well-funded women advocacy groups -- having witnessed the Larry Summers events in 2006/2007 myself, I think calling him that is just ridiculous and is actually bad journalism, since she is distorting the events.Maryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127060532890791774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374266320411149509.post-12835592496362088082009-04-14T12:14:00.000-04:002009-04-14T12:14:00.000-04:00Great post!
