Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4118944, member: 7492"] The funny thing is I wanted to edit your comment for better clarity "[S]We[/S] [B][I]the SEC[/I][/B] is [S]are[/S] [S]a[/S] football-tv-money-rich [S]SEC school[/S] and can afford [B][I]South Carolina[/I][/B] to do this". The irony is though, even football rich SEC schools cut Men's Athletic programs as even the mighty Gamecocks with all their SEC money, only have 8 Men's sports. The women have 11 sports including Beach Volleyball, which seems odd as I have been to Columbia and don't recall any beaches? I jest of course, but the point is despite all the "so-called money" from Football, the SEC schools seem to reinvest all that same money back into salaries of Football so virtually all the SEC schools have limited men's programs and requisite Title IX women's programs to equal out the football 85 scholarships. Tennessee 7 men's, 9 women's Texas A&M 8 men's, 10 women's LSU 8 men's, 11 women's Mizzou 8 men's, 10 women's Georgia 8 men's, 11 women's Ole Miss 7 men's, 9 women's Miss State 6 men's, 8 women's Alabama 7 men's, 10 women's Florida 8 men's, 11 women's Vanderbilt 6 men's, 9 women's Arkansas 7 men's, 10 women's Kentucky 10 men's, 12 women's Auburn 7 men's, 10 women's UConn 7 men's, 12 women's, (they just cut Men's swimming). So yeah, it is a little bit disingenuous that so many of your colleagues want to tout this "football" money but yet, it stays "football money"...much to the dismay of the many non-revenue sports that could and should benefit with the distribution-like men's swimming, water polo, wrestling, men's soccer, men's and women's lacrosse... For the record, the NCAA has sanctioned 16 men's sports, 18 women's sports and 3 co-ed sports. Stanford participates in the most with 16 Men's and 19 Women's. Some of these sports are not sanctioned by the NCAA-like men's rowing. [/QUOTE]
