Seems to be a lot of concern about having to keep women's hockey solely because of men's hockey. How do the top notch football universities ever get in compliance with title IX? My guess is they make sure they offer enough scholarships to offset in women's sports, and make sure their women's athletic facilities are nice. End of story.
Alabama for instance has a women's rowing team with 58 members on the roster. I don't know if they're rowing for Carnival Cruise lines, but if not, 58 seems a bit excessive. I'm thinking it's their way of offsetting football, giving equal scholarships to women. It seems to work just fine for them.
