Extract

This would help bring the number of men's and women's sports to a closer ratio, as well as bring the participation of male and female athletes to a closer proportion. If football programs were limited to a smaller number of scholarships, those extra scholarships could be distributed to female athletes in order to equalize up the number of scholarships given to male and female athletes.
This combination of cutting back at football funding and adding more scholarships and sports for women seems to be the best solution to the problem of sexual discrimination in sports. Even though this may not make things totally equal, it does make things better. Hopefully, someday men and women will be considered equals in all aspects of life, including sports. Until then, we must do our best to be as fair as possible.
