Attitudes about women and sports have been unfair to women forever.Title IX has been a good effort to change this and over all positive.It is a fallacious argument to say guys should have more opportunities because they are more interested in sports.High School girls are the first generation whose mothers had any significant opportunity to participate in sports.No one knows what female interest in sports will be in 20 more years.
The NCAA hasn't been helpful to"minor sports"as long as I have been paying attention(mid 60s).When mens swimming had 15 scholarships football had 120 and then 95.Thats why I think swimming can't rely on the NCAA.
