Women's Rowing is the ultimate Title 9 balancer

Some schools have rowing teams with 50-80 women to balance out the football scholarships. Clemson, for example, has 56 women on it's rowing roster (and no men). UNC and UVA have 52 and 62 women, respectively, on their rowing teams and no men's teams. ** Edited by UpperQuad at 10/28/2024, 5:10:06 PM

It's not about who we've lost, per se.

Absolutely but sadly

The women's program loses a similar amount of money

Another of the genius non-moves by WB. He could easily bring in $150,000

Nah, it wouldn't be that much.

That figure isn't close to accurate.

Is 150,000 really that much in this day and age?**

Not probably, definitely.

Ever hear of elastic and inelastic demand?
