re: 2 completely random questions about women's college softball

yes and I understand all of that but they are not participating in the game itself so fundamentally there is no reason for them to be wearing a full uni. You could say the same thing for FB. Coaches are on the sideline which is part of the field and go out during time outs to talk to players and the umpires. same thing when a BB coach goes onto the field. Base coaches are in foul territory just like a FB coach is on the sidelines of the playing field

uhhhhhhhhhh..yes it is.. title 9 correct me says that Bama has to give an equal number of women scholarships as mens.

No that is not correct, they use a three prong approach you just need to hit on one of the three

1) the intercollegiate- level participation opportunities for male and female students at the institution are "substantially proportionate" to their respective full- time undergraduate enrollments.

2) the institution has a "history and continuing practice of program expansion" for the underrepresented sex, or

3) the institution is "fully and effectively" accommodating the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex.


As yes it applies to any educational institution that receives federal funds.

no, absolutely not. someone explained the 3 prongs to you. you should read into that.

most schools hit on the second and third prongs i believe.

yes, if you want to comply with that prong which almost nobody does because of that exact reason.

again, prongs 2 and 3 are where most schools end up complying with title ix. you only have to hit 1.

was referring to the entire athletic department and Bama puts a lot of fannies in the seats. I bet they are not losing money

pretty sure bama gym and SB don't lose money

Pretty sure you are wrong.

In fact, I'm willing to bet they aren't anywhere even close to being profitable

Football and basketball coaches aren't allowed on the field during actual play, like the two base coaches. Baseball coaches are also allowed to go on the field to argue and appeal calls. In addition baseball coaches are allowed one free trip to the mound every inning to talk with their pitcher.

---

The first base coach and third base coach are in foul territory. So they are not on the field.

And when a coach goes to talk to the pitcher, time is called.

So neither one of your points make sense.

And even if coaches were allowed on the field during the actual game, why would that have any bearing at all in terms of what they are wearing?

Scholarship limitations are ridiculous to begin with. A school/university should be able to give as many scholarships out as it wants. Nothing wrong with as many kids as possible getting a chance to attend a major university, or any university for that matter, for free and get an education and have a better chance to be a contributable member of this country
