heir sports than women.
             Another difference between men's and women's sports is the number of
             athletic scholarships given to athletes of differing sexes. Male athletes, as a
             whole, receive twice the number of scholarships that women athletes receive
             (Moline 18). In a survey conducted by the NCAA( national collegiate athletic
             association) of 253 division 1 schools, athletic scholarship funding was 69.5%
             for men and 30.5% for women. The actual average amount of money given for
             scholarships was $849,130 for men and $372,800 for women (Farrey C1). In 1992,
             division 1 schools with football teams were allowed to offer 92 scholarships per
             season (Farrey C1). This exceeds any other sport, men or women's, in the number
             of scholarships available. When everything is added together male athletes
             receive more scholarship money than female athletes. This is another example
             of the inequality between the sexes.
             Yet another difference between men and women's collegiate sports is the
             number of participants. The ratio of men to women at most colleges is usually
             one to one, but sports participation is usually two to one favoring men (Tarkan
             25). Men's athletic teams are generally bigger than women's teams. This could
             be attributed to the bigger budgets and more scholarships that would allow men's
             teams to be larger. This two to one ratio shows that participation is not equal
             and therefore women are discriminated against.
             These examples of inequality in college sports shows that there is a
             problem and it has been a problem for some time. Women have less money budgeted
             for their sports, less scholarship money, and there are a lot fewer female
             athletes than male athletes. In 1975, a girl in Colorado had to use the court
             system in order to be allowed to practice and play with a men's team. This was
             done since there was no available women's team. (Hanmer 96). Having to go to
             court, again shows ...
