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 just looked at the grad rates from the NCAA site. It claims that overall grad rate for student atheletes is 62%. However, when I added up the number it said actually graduated to the number of freshmen it was less than half. These were ony students who had received some type of atheletic aid. I looked at some schools. I expected that certain schools would do better, Ivy League, prestigeous sports schools, ect. Ivy League did do better. Prestigeous sport schools didn't necessarily. There were some schools I saw that did graduate everyone in certain sports (especially Florida schools on tennis). there were soem school who barely graduated any scholarship students. Overall, women did do better than men. There are more women in colleges, generally than there are men now. What a big change!!!

The man who used to be Knox's AD, went back to the NCAA to head the division that determines if foreign students are pros or not.
