Univ. of New Hampshire is getting rid of its women's rowing. The official line is that it has to get rid of some sports so that it can get into compliance with Title IX. Really is that it is doing a big budget cut. I wonder if this is the first women's team to be axed becasue of Title IX.
I don't understand how Title IX can possibly be used for what seems to me to be a really cheap blow to many girls. Rowing is a somewhat expensive sport, lots of coaches, lots of equipment.

I think that allof this issues: accessiblity to sports, steroids, and Title IX are so interrelated. What reason would a girl take male steroids other than to get a scholarship to a college that won't cancel the program. Colleges look the other way because they want results. Get good women to participate & the NCAA won't write them up about not meeting Title IX requirements (which aren't taken seriously anyway). And who really cares if the athelete graduates!!!
I disagree on this one, NOT that I am trying to criticize the US scholarship system but I think that students should have to look for an University scholarship first for good grades other than just being good for a certain sport. At least that´s how it is in almost the rest of the world....., if anyone cares of knowing.
