Enter Title IX. If the school takes federal funds (for anything) it must provide equal opportunity regardless of gender. The NCAA would monitor this closely not wanting to run afoul of a federal statute. Ray C, you and the Beloved Leader are both hoping the “equal funding” aspect is not being paid close attention to. Anybody know if that applies to how much the football coach is paid, as opposed to how much is spent on facilities and equipment etc. across the genders?

Maybe a mud wrestling team…? Speedo tops cost a lot less than helmets. Could even be a source of positive cash flow!

Slow week in sports. I’ll be glad when we can move on.

I think Tank’s talking about SDSU in California. They did the same thing. Starting Women’s Lacrosse and sand volleyball.
