Maybe his son is a wrestler.


It is a shame one sport takes more hits than another but this is a very superficial article.

What "Garp" fails to address is that most women's programs are not fully funded where as virtually all men's programs are.

85 d1 football scholarships per school all fully funded.

14 per D1 school for women's soccer, few fully funded.

"Garp" can go cry me a river.
