those schools artificially hold down the number of women so that they won’t be required by Title IX to cut expenditures on male sports. (Title IX requires that the proportion of expenditure on male and female sports correspond to the proportions of men and women in the student body.) One football school told me that the ratio of women to men dictated by grades and scores would be at least 60 to 40, maybe higher. But they hold it to 55 (women)/45 (men) for the sake of the football program.
