The purpose of sports in the larger mission?
It's all about the money. Money generated from mens sports go to the university and is used to help fund other sports programs and also to help funding for academic areas on campus. College sports is a huge business and womens sports are a debit.
And it provides women an opportunity to participate on a collegiate level that wasn't there to begin with.
Now answer this: How about addressing the original point of this thread? Why is it forced upon mens programs when there is not as much interest in the participation on the womens' part? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that and explain why it's still a good idea.
