I have heard that if a girl is good in soccer she is just about guaranteed a college scholarship. Title IX has a lot to do with sports scholarship money too. Not just fielding women's teams.

It's even worse than that. When my university decided to put together a women's soccer program, they used scholarship money to recruit 'student-athletes' (read: ringers) from Canada, South Africa and elsewhere. This was with money earned by the football program, and transferred from other sports, such as men's wrestling, which catered to local Midwestern athletes.

It's worse than I thought. Sometimes the women sports scholarship money isn't even going to Americans. Thanks much sir.
