I read something years ago that said that in an effort to comply with title 9, some schools were creating BS sports for women and handing out scholarships to chicks who had never played the sport before.

Compare that to guys who get D1 wrestling scholarships - a lifetime of dedication and truly one of the very best in the nation.

sickening.

Even with TV, they try to balance out womens college sports with mens. You have women's bball games aired when no one is in attendance and internationally you have them airing a women's wrestling match for every men's one, when no one gives a shit about women's wrestling. When international wrestling is shown, now you only get to see half the matches because the time is shared with the women competing
