Ha, haaa, haaa, haa,haa, ha,haha,
 
Thanks, Mike, for making me laugh a lot.
 
Here's my impression of a football game .....
        HIKE - BANG! -- whistle -- huddle for 30 seconds - repeat.

Title IX doesn't just cover sports, so in essence it does cover engineering --
especially if they only offered engineering to men.

Is that not the most condescending comment in the world?

This is hyterical too -- but in a different way.  So you're saying let the free
market rule.  If there's no opportunity, just let the women go to a place where
there is ... well, where exactly is that place?  Since 99 percent of all
colleges are out of compliance, then please tell me where that place is that's
just a hotbed for women's sports.

The idea being, sir, that inner city schools face the vicious cycle of being in
a poor area, and thus getting no funding, and thus having no chance to educate
people into no longer being in a poor area.  Why should quality of public
school be tied into the wealth of the community? That has nothing to do with
free market --- and this topic has nothing to do with this list.
