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.
Why do people assume that the basketball players and football players are stupid? Well around here it is highly published when a recruit cannot make the minimum score on the ACT, which is something like a 15 to get in. That is why. It is not as highly published when they graduate early with honors(although Dee did and so did Nick Smith).
Also, a regular student with an ACT of 15 would not have a prayer of getting into Illinois, add 15 points to that and maybe. So again, let the basketball and football players in with their low scores, give them tons of help to get through, yep, makes me feel real sorry for the free ride they are getting to a quality school when many non-athletes cannot even get in, much less get the tutoring they get.
And those regular students may not be spending all the time at the sport of football and have that stress. Instead, they are juggling school and a job because they cannot afford school unless they work.
Nope, not gonna get me sorry for the basketball and football players who get free rides, sorry.
