Yeah I wouldn't be excited about the season either if I had just lost my starting RB and had an unproven QB under center.This will most likely be the shortest season in history. With campuses opening back up. Kids testing positive, will skyrocket.
To much liability to go forward at some point.
We presume that to be true, but we really don't know. Let's say they don't count this year. You have 25 new players coming in. Now you are going to have to raise the scholarships to 110. That's if the entire teams doesn't play. What it a team has 5 sit? Does that mean they can only take 20 this year? What if the Alpha 3 play and the Cuck 2 don't? Do the Cuck 2 get 110 scholarships and the Alpha 3 only 85? The point being, this is a complicated issue. Someone sitting out will for sure get another year, but it's going to be a tricky issue to deal with.

Football wasn't involved. Adding 25 scholarships means you have to add 25 female scholarships per Title IX. We agree ... they will do it, but it won't be easy.i know but they already addressed it for the spring sports so they can’t change it for the others.
I could see how an Auburn fan would lose any excitement with those issues...good thing we aren't Auburn.Yeah I wouldn't be excited about the season either if I had just lost my starting RB and had an unproven QB under center.

I mean the concept is not difficult, even if you don't agree with the overall policy.Title IX always made about as much sense to me as trying to breed a couple of mules.

Women were discriminated against when it came to college athletics. More funding went to men's sports. Title IX basically said if you receive federal funds, you can't discriminate between sexes when it comes to athletics. Now you don't have to spend as much on women's bowling as you do men's football, but you have to have equal scholarships. With football having 85, basketball 15, baseball 12 (I think), and some others here and there, that meant you had to have that many for women's sports. To do this the had to add a ton of women's sports and get rid of men's rowing, fencing, that type of thing. To get to the 112 that are reserved for the top 3 mens sports, you had to add a lot of women's sports.
I know you were just kidding, probably, but there you go.
I am not a fan of Title IX, but for reasons other than sports. If you look at college sports as an activity that is integral to a schools educational mission, you might see it differently. Football and basketball have become so economically successful that we tend to forget that there is an educational mission to college sports - physical and mental health, teamwork, competitiveness, camaraderie, learning, etc. It's actually the primary mission. And you get that on a field hockey team as much as you get it on a football team. A university doesn't make money off the debate team, or the chess club, or a greek system, the glee club, the DanceAThon, intramurals, or any of the hundreds of activities, athletic and non-athletic, that they have to help their students grow, learn and mature. They are part of the total educational mission of the university. If that is true, and I believe it is, then you can't discriminate against women in favor of men in any of it.I'm just not a fan of subsidizing most sports that are never going to support themselves just because it makes someone feel good. OK, I can see supporting a few women's teams that will never carry themselves just like a men's wrestling problem doesn't cover its expense at most schools. But creating an entire spectrum of women's sports just to meet some social justice goal is what's adding dramatically to the financial hemorrhaging in college sports. Some sports (men and women) are basically even such as golf and tennis in their cost to an athletic program so I see the fairness of having both teams. But adding women's stick ball or women's foosball or women's three-legged sack racing teams "to make everything fair" is a joke and most people know it but they're reluctant to say it out loud for fear of being called a misogynist or some other BS label.

Hey.. from a Texas board, they are saying that Brooks has a lingering shoulder issue and is probably why he's opting out.
Guess the Bennie Wylie era is in full effect
