A world in which everybody wants to offer mens' football scholarships and nobody wants to offer women's hockey. Or much of anything else that involves women. You'll get no argument from me that Title IX sucks as to what it has done to our sport (and other "minor" ones) on the men's side, but it's still better than what we had when women were second- (if lucky) class citizens. It's not that many years ago that most major universities not only didn't have any women's varsity teams, they also didn't even have club teams. And it wasn't uncommon to find track coaches who wouldn't even allow women anywhere near their track when practice was in session. gh
