First-of-its-Kind Study: Scholarship Discrimination Against Men in NCAA Sports
By Robert Franklin, Esq. | Jul 24, 2009

The College Sports Council has done a study of NCAA Division I athletic scholarships and come up with some surprising (to some) conclusions. Here’s the CSC’s summary of their findings.

In "gender symmetric" sports, i.e. those in which both sexes participate, scholarships available to women far outnumber those available to men. And since far more boys than girls take part in high school athletics, the ratios of scholarships to male candidates, versus scholarships to female candidates is radically unequal. As CSC chairman Eric Pearson said,

This new study appears to provide prima facie evidence of disparate treatment of male students by the 28% of NCAA Division I schools that don’t sponsor football teams.

The study removed football scholarships because that is not a gender symmetric sport.

Using NCAA data, the CSC found that overall, there are 2,653 women’s teams versus 2,097 for men in Division I, a 26.5% difference. In gender symmetric sports, women’s scholarships outnumber men’s by about 62%, 32,656 to 20,206.

The findings regarding the number of athletes per available scholarship include the following,

In every "gender symmetric" sport with the exception of gymnastics, men face longer odds against getting a scholarship than women. By far, the most difficult athletic scholarship to obtain at the Division I level is in men’s volleyball, where there are 489 high school athletes for every full NCAA scholarship. Similar long odds exist for men competing in Track and Field/Cross-Country (221 to 1), Soccer and Water Polo (196 to 1) and Tennis (136 to 1).

Those who object to the CSC’s findings point to the fact that the data exclude football scholarships. To them, the fact that all football scholarships are given to males balances the inequalities of the gender symmetric sports. How a football scholarship is supposed to benefit a boy whose sport is tennis or volleyball, these critics don’t explain. Likewise, how a school that doesn’t field a football team should be able to ignore the requirements of Title IX because other schools elsewhere do offer football goes unexplained.
" can’t comment on a study I’ve never seen, nor can you.
How can you be certain the claims made above are indeed correct? You can’t because you have no evidence."

Usual and typical comment from a feminist..
They will release any shady, lying as well as questionable report but whoa and behold should anyone dare to suggest that they are sexist watch the fireworks..

Feminists are liars, this is a proven and obvious fact..

Its the same old story: if it disadvantages women its sexism, but if it disadvantages men its equality.

How do they get away with this? Moms and Dads and schoolkids should totally reject this policy. I would go as far as to say a boycott is warranted to correct this problem.

Edit
Object of Its Ire: "That’s discrimination against girls in the sport of wrestling".
LOL! This is what feminism is all about – shaping the world to fit the needs of lady wrestlers. In fact last year in the UK a large amount of government funding was allocated to training women wrestlers. And how many women wrestlers are there in the UK? Last I heard nobody was found to take the funding. Feminists had demanded the funding on principal but there was no real need for it. And of course the money could have gone to sports that people actually want to take part in.

A serious problem with modern feminism is this freeloading mentality – minority lifestyle choices should get government funding out of proportion any possible benefit to society. Except of course to see angry feminists wrestle each other (… hmmm… might be onto something here).

Where does the money come from? You can bet it won’t be from feminists, unless they get a handout from the government through pester power.

Okay well my friend is from Mexico and we both want to apply for scholarships, this is our first year in Community College but we need some good online scholarships for Immigrants both of us or him?

Hey,
In your community college there has to be a Student Service building, find out if they have a program called E.O.P.S. (Extended Opportunity Programs & Services). There you will find helpful people that understand your situation and will help you obtain what you want. Don’t worry, there are scholarship that do NOT REQUIRE you to be a U.S citizen. Some scholarship do require you to be a full time student(12 units of more) but other do not. I encourage you to find this place and don’t get discouraged, there will be a way.

I don’t want to get into a site that leads to another and another and another. I just want to fill out the required documents and apply for scholarships. Any ideas where to do that?
Thnx Holly!!
