Don't get me wrong. I'm very forunate and blessed that Title IX was created. Because I would'nt be at the University of Texas on a track & field scholarship. Title IX gave women's athletics the same oppurnitues has males in college athletics. The reason I ask is it fair to other male sports with exception of football, is because they hardly recieve any scholarships. Division 1 football is rewarded eighty-five fulls scholarships. While swimming & diving result with a measly 10 scholarships, swimming and diving have about 40 people on their teams. Track & field is the same way. They are only awarded 12 scholarships, and they have close to 40 people as well. A lot of these athletes are joining sports teams and putting in numerous hours on the field for no finical help with their school. Even though football is the revenue making sport, they dont need that many scholarships to be successful. You can only have eleven people on the field at one time during a game. Half the people that have scholarships will never see the field. In my opinion their needs to be a change in the system. So NCAA athletics can be completely fair across the board.
