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.

I get that, but some quick search numbers by NDoggie78

showed ND at 53% male, 47% female

UofL was about 50% each (49.5% male, 50.5 female)

That doesn't appear far enough apart to allow ND 35 more men's scholarships than Louisville, yet 7 fewer women's. Either enrollment numbers are wrong, there's more criteria I'm not considering, ND out of compliance (maybe I should quit looking), OR Louisville as room to add more men's scholarships (lacrosse).

Now, there could be many more reasons for not adding, I just don't think Title IX is it (and again I could be completely wrong). This is given as the excuse whenever the question comes up - it's easy to blame "Title IX", but ND has found a way to do it.

One more thing, since hoomanbeing first brought up Title IX, I looked at UVA's numbers, too. They list 13 Men's varsity sports, and 14 Women's varsity sports (they list squash for both men's and women's, but I couldn't find NCAA scholarship limits for squash).
Total Men's scholarships = 173.6
Total Women's scholarships = 143

Enrollment percentages Men 44.3%, Women 55.7%
So those numbers don't work out either.
Obviously, I know less than these Universities and the NCAA rules, but my point still stands - if ND and UVA can have a lacrosse team under Title IX restrictions, it would "appear" UofL could as well.
