Thank you so much for your input.
The NCAA, College Coaches, local media have taken some involvement. The University President handled the announcement poorly and ruined chances for the men to find scholarships elsewhere for the coming year. He also stated that he wasn’t going to let the NCAA tell him how to run his university.
Most of what you suggested is in the works but historically has not been effective, especially with regards to Title IX. As long as football is weighted against the female sports, there will never be an unforced compliance.
HOWEVER, I think your idea of finding academic fluff programs for comparison is a fantastic one and I’ll pass it on to the kids. They are doing a phenomenal job of communicating and organizing. The University may think they are encouraging an atmophere of fairness for the sexes but they are instead opening the eyes of young men and women to the heavy handedness of liberal dogma.
Hey! I’m pinging this thread ‘cause I have more info.
The kids are really gunned up about Kutztown University’s mindless decision to cut the mens’ swimming and soccer teams. The University President has given different answers at different times: it’s not Title IX, it IS Title IX, it’s not money, it IS money.....
Any Freepers in the area on April 21st are asked to attend the rally at 5:00 pm to support the men’s swim team.
My daughter is searching for a local (to Kutztown) Navy Seal who would be willing to say a few words at the rally about how the sport of swimming gives back to the community and the country, e.g. Navy Seals, life guards, Coast Guard etc. She might jump on Free Republic to make a person plea for Freeper help.
