This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

For L'ville, Title IX numbers won't let them have a varsity. by hoomanbeing
It is almost impossible for any FBS school that already has a WLax team to start an MLax team because WLax is used to get their Title IX numbers up. Plus, Louisville already has a rowing team which has the largest number of scholarships for women (20) and usually the biggest roster for participation count purposes. FSU has a Sugar Daddy who will pay to start both teams if they can resolve their Title IX numbers. Ga Tech and NCSU, as engineering schools, have the best Title IX positions, but need a Sugar Daddy/Mommy to pay for it. Ga Tech's MCLA club team has been in the club Top 10 for the past 2 years, IIRC.
