As of 8:10am this morning one of the finer programs in the country is lost due to "budgetary" problems.
No one saw it coming and they just recently signed some top level recruits that gave them one of the top 3 recruiting classes in the country.

Fort, have you ever considered the positive effect those football scholarships can have? How many of those scholarships are going to kids who can just barely get their test scores because the inner city schools are so bad? How many of them are giving kids a college education who otherwise wouldn't have had one? I can't speak for football, but I know for a fact that basketball scholarships have given a whole lot of kids a chance at a college education they would have never gotten were it not for basketball, I would assume that it is similar for the other big revenue sports though.
Also, perhaps girls are smarter and perhaps boys are more inclined to athletics, if we are arbitrarily assigning traits to a sex, might as well tack that one on.
