Why do we continue to point to lower participating numbers of women in sports to justify the assertion that society is persecuting women? I was a part of a state high school championship team in Colorado and we never cut anybody. My daughters' teams in this very school (Deer Valley) district were regional champions 11 years running. Nobody on their teams got cut. I would assert that the opportunities are there even with the good teams/schools. Is it possible that overall less women are interested in sports? Badminton would put us in compliance??? Swell.
And for what it's worth, I think Hogshead got touched out in the 84 Olympics.
Fort, it's been awhile, please educate me again.:)
To aid in this REQUIRE that all persons that receive a scholorship & then turn pro are required to pay back all funds within 5 years !!!! :2cents:
First of all I don't see how this would help Title IX problems, secondly I don't think it's a good idea for any other reason. What's the total percentage of athletes that leave college early to turn pro? I'll bet it's less than 1%. I think something like this would do more to discourage some kids from ever attending college than it would to encourage kids to stay for four years.
