Title: College Teams, Relying on Deception, Undermine Gender Equity
From the NY Times:

Wow
so if all the numbers are set right, the Colleges will have to eliminate MORE men's sports.

Can you say UNINTENDED consequences?

Good find GF!

I think the most common example of this is in women's basketball. The regularly have men on their practice squad. Those men who are practice partners for women's teams, count as men's roster spots! Renee Portland (PSU) typically kept 3-5 men on her "women's basketball team" and those required reduced roster spots on the men's teams in other sports.

Must consider the source: nyt. I wait for National Inquirer's post.

Are you drunk or just trolling

My dad was just telling me, the other day, about some girl who is tearing up high school BASEBALL with the knuckleball she learned from one of the Neikro brothers. He thought it would be cool if she got a scholorship to a college to pitch for a men's team, instead of softball.

He meant well and didn't think about the other side until about 2 minutes later when I was done with my title 9 rant and the fact that they need to stay on their own side of the gender issue. I am sure I went overboard, but at least it made him and my uncle think about something they had never considered before. There are MANY unnintended consequesces (how do you spell that darn word?) from people who "never played the game" making decisions about those who do.
