[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it just a "small percentage" of boys playing soccer who receive scholarships because way more boys than girls play soccer?

I mean, let's be real -- aside from a few niche areas, nobody and I mean nobody cares about girls sports at any level ... so it's just some boyish activity that girls get into because of federal laws mandating "equal" sports in college that drives the girls soccer craze.  Otherwise, nobody cares. [/quote]

NO. Not at all.  There are more scholarships/$ available for girls.  Football and basketball are the big college $ makers.  They fill the stadiums, arenas, sell the gear, recruit the regular students, bring focus to the school.[/quote]

this. Football has 85 full scholarships that have to be offset by women's sports. The result if that women's soccer teams have a max of 15 full scholarships and mens 10. There are also about 125 more D1 women's teams than mens because (as contrary to what PP said), no one care about college soccer played by either gender. The only benefit that either program brings to the school is the women's team's offset of football for title IX purposed  [/quote]

NFL teams have a roster of 55 players. HS rosters can be anywhere from 20-85 players. College rosters are bloated at 85 scholarships. Why should other college athletes not receive scholarships when the football program are providing a free ride to 30+ kids who are nothing but practice squad players? [/quote]

Cost too much. [/quote]
