[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 285093, member: 2426"] That isn't exactly correct. Title IX requires equal scholarships and equal quality of equipment and facilities, but does not require equal dollars. The travel budget for women's sports does not have to equal the travel budget for men's sports. However, a school cannot send the men's basketball team to Notre Dame in a private jet and send the women's basketball team to Notre Dame in Yugos. My complaint is not that academic money is being spent on big money sports. My complaint is that student and institutional support of GT athletics is in line with other ACC schools, but fan support of GT is WAY behind other schools. GT fans complain about ticket prices and required donations. GT fans don't match other schools ticket sales or donations. However, the fans complain that the school doesn't pay enough to provide facilities to the big money sports and that the school doesn't pay enough for the AA to hire personnel to assist in recruiting. The facts are that the students and school are doing as much as Clemson, FSU, and UNC. The fans are not. If fans really want more money for the AA, they should buy more, donate more, and assist the AA in raising money. It is much easier to blame a nameless faceless "hill" than it is to look in the mirror and take action. [/QUOTE]
