Reply #8: My specific schools wrestling program is very safe

[Mr. Blonde]

Ok. State has a very (ahem)distinguished wrestling program. However, it is the general survival of the sport and other that I am worried about. Because it is nearly all Olympic Sports that are in danger.

Az. State built BUILT a lake to have crew. American U (and others) put ads in the school paper offering scholarships to any girl who wishes to be on the crew team. No prior experience necessary.

Wrestling is limited to 9.9 scholarships. There are 10 starters on a team, and about 30 on a team. Baseball is in slightly better shape as they have enough scholarships to cover their starters, but that is about it. Track has to borrow athletes from the football team. Because of caps on male programs walk ons (who cost virtually nothing for the Athletic Dept.) are turned away.

Does it seem like there is something wrong with the picture between the two genders? It sure doesn't seem like equality from over here.
