Elaborate.


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?

Nearly every individual sports program doesn't survive on merit, they require governmental funding.

I can almost assuredly say this is false.

I can almost guarantee that there are many club women's programs that would love to have varsity status.

There is demand.
