Expanding Football Roster Has Title IX, Logistical Issues

Without NU football there’s no BIG money. There’s no Adidas apparel contract, no nice facilities and other than maybe MBB and VB, likely no other sports.  But the OWH implies Frost and Moos are the villains here because they want a bigger roster to possibly get a competitive advantage.  That’s the problem I have with Cordes and his article.   Look, what Frost wants, Frost gets IMO, if he truly believes it can help us win a conference title someday.  That’s his job!! As far as other sports go, just be glad there’s football. And quit your b!^@h’in about 20 walk-on spots.

No one is complaining about making sure we have the room for as many walk-ons as Frost wants, it's making sure we do it in a way that won't get us in trouble. I don't care if it's the principle of how we handle women's sports or just not wanting NCAA issues, I would think we would all be on the same page there. Football drives everything else, and so it's fine if that is the priority. I just don't want to get burned by questionable decisions made to immediately prop up the football numbers when we could've taken a few years to do it right. Could be a complete non-issue, but it seems dodgy at best.

The other strategy schools should have taken when Title IX was introduced was to eliminate the football program or at least threaten it.  Everybody loses then.

That isn't what I was implying. The answer is that the way it's done now is fine, which is to have as many women as men, and to not pick sports for women only based on which the men are playing.
