I'm watching NW vs. Minny, and there have been a few forfeits so far. Why? Do they really not have the depth to find someone to wrestle? Is it better or worse to send out a guy and try to save a single point instead of forfeiting it right away?

Cutting 5 - 10 football scholarships would be great for the competitive balance of the sport.Originally posted by brianoc:
I love wrestling but Title IX is great legislation. I love college football but go to 5-10 less football scholarships and we have an even better college system and no real issue with Title IX.
Part of my premise was that the women's sport would have to be a conference sanctioned sport. So, you could either offer the same number of total scholarshps, or you would meet Title IX by offering a fully funded women's team for every women's sport that is sanctioned.Originally posted by PhilaPhans:
Old Cabbagehead,
Let's go on your premise and use this to analyze Rutgers sports offerings.
I assume baseball and softball should cancel each other out as sports. We have both teams for basketball, soccer, cross country, golf, lacrosse, and track and field.
We would need to add men's gymnastics, tennis, swimming & diving, volleyball, and crew program to equal out.
What would happen in the cases of football, wrestling, field hockey? There is such a thing as women's wrestling, but the others aren't offered to both genders in collegiate athletics, I don't believe. Should you create new sports programs for the women? Does having field hockey balance out having wrestling? Football will always be the biggest scholarship program, so how do you level that out?
