My mistake on the stats in the article about the Colgate women.  Women
making up 47% of the student body yet only 32% of the athletes does not
imply a large percent of women particpating in sports - I misread that
one!!  However, what I meant to say is that just because the percent of
women participating in sports in less than the percent of the women in
the student body (and only 12% less at that) does not mean there is not
equal opportunity.  Perhaps the interest is not there.  Also, this does
not mean that 47% of the athletics funds should be used for women.
Consider that some of the men's sports may be more expensive.  And in some
situations, a women's sport may be more costly!!
