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.
That is one school. At many schools, the non revenue sports usually have kids that are at the top of their classes. When being recruited, the schools want them to be good scholars as well as athletes.
Revenue sports.....another story, but there are good students in that bunch also, just not as many, because these sports tend to be a way out a bad school situation for many of them.
