Message: [QUOTE="FRANKIEFAN, post: 3362486, member: 6729"] It’s not really male/female thing I feel the same way about non revenue male sports programs. And as student athletes I am not sure they should be spending all that time practicing and traveling. Doesn’t matter if it’s men’s swimming or women’s swimming same thing only folks who care are the athletes and their parents. Title IX is the reason for bloated athletic departments that lose a fortune outside of FB and BB which in turn is the main argument for why players can’t be paid (because these ADs in general tend to break even or lose some money overall.) Now taking a step back sports aside higher ed has probably been dealt a haymaker by this. It’s one thing that can’t fail every community needs its local college/university both to provide employment and future skilled labor. It’s a shame FB and BB can’t be bastions of revenue because they are forced to pick up the tab for non revenue programs. [/QUOTE]
