West Point participates in college athletics...and is subject to Title 9 requirements to spend just as much money on women’s sports as they do men’s.
As with most colleges, this means a whole bunch of women’s only sports to offset the spending on the all men football team.
Then add to that the fact that only a small percent of cadets are women.
It all adds up to: around 75% of the women are there to be on athletic teams and are not necessarily there because they are top notch scholars.
