A lot of colleges started women's rowing teams, because they're inexpensive, nobody cares if they win, and they can get girls to sign up for the exercise and free scholarships.
Besides, I'd rather see a women's wrestling team than a men's team. Heck, guys pay a lot of money to see that.
Actually football is the problem. The teams are so big (125 total, 85 scholarships) that schools have to have multiple woman’s sports to make up the difference.
Don’t get me wrong, I love college football but without it Title IX would not be a big deal on campus.
Yep, if you have a daughter you can get her an easy scholarship to any number of schools simply by getting her to do a little rowing.
