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.

It's not an absolute number of scholarships by sex by tf86
Rather, the percentage of athletic scholarships by sex has to be proportional to overall enrollment by sex.
Notre Dame has more male students than female students, and therefore can provide more athletic scholarships to male student-athletes than to female student-athletes, so long as the proportion approximates the proportion of overall male/female student enrollment.
I don't know what Louisville's exact enrollment numbers are, but I would make an educated guess that they have a higher proportion of female students than ND has. In that case, they are required to award more athletic scholarships to female student-athletes, proportionately speaking, than ND is.
