As we all know, Title IX, among other things, requires universities to spend athletic scholarship dollars in proportion to each gender’s participation.
“According to a VICE Sports analysis of EADA data for 2014-15, the most recent reporting year, at 30 of the 65 schools in the Power Five conferences the proportion of athletic aid awarded to women falls short of their participation rate in sports by two or more percentage points. At 16 of those schools, the disparity is at least five points.”
Care to take a shot at guessing which schools are the two worst offenders?
In the business, that’s what we call a “tell”. Oh, and by the way…
The first two SEC schools aren’t exactly shockers, either.

Just stop sending the checks from the federal government to these non-compliant schools next year.

These schools are getting millions in research funds. Their students could be cashing millions in pell grants.
Next year both of those go away.
I would bet that there would be a spending race on womens sports like we have never seen. Hell they might actually care if one of those women is raped.

And the bottom 15 coincidentally is capped off with Tenn – a rape-enabling trifecta.
