Re: The CAA will ultimately go to 14 teams and will be the top 1-AA full scholarship league in the country. And we won't drop Georgetown and Holy Cross - we will continue to play both but we pick up William and Mary, Richmond, Villanova and Delaware plus we have a shot at a national championship with full scholarships. That's a helluva deal. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

I don't think finding a conference to play in is the impediment. Based on Title IX's Direct Proportionality clause, adding 63 sholarships to the men's side of the equation would put the ratio of men's to women's scholarships grossly out of proportion and therefore put the athletic department out of compliance. That is the biggest factor, not adding 63 scholarships, but closer to 120 (which would probably mean having to add a few new women's programs).

Many schools have handled this fairly easily - generally it's addressed by a combination of dropping a couple of lesser men's teams and adding a women's team or two. Adding Women's Lacrosse would do the trick. (NT) Rambacker 12:46:00 04/25/05 Mon
