I think the average woman already has more opportunities because the equal sports rule - when in reality, I don't think there are that many great college varsity female athletes out there to fill the sports - and it's certainly not equal to the men's #s of good athletes wanting to play college sports.

So the average male athlete gets no shot for a scholie and playing in college - but the average female athlete gets the chance at free tuition and glory.

Guys get intramurals and the girl gets a Div 1 sport (even though it looks like watching intramurals)

1) Sports programs should survive on merit
2) Thinking you dont have enough womens sports is one thing. Thinking the proper amount of womens sports is whatever amount of mens sports you have is something completely different. There is a disconnect between the perceived issue and the fix.
3) Lets say ASU and the community is happy with the womens programs they have, but would now like to add mens hockey. What problem does that create for women that another program for which there is no demand would solve?
