She supports the bill with changes.

I'm not sure how I feel about deferring to national college athletic associations. If any of these schools take public money than the state should have rights to dictate policy here (as much as I usually am against gov. regs).

To me one of the biggest issues was girls losing out on scholarship opportunities to males. At least fixing the problem at the high school level deals with that.

Yeah, I thought she was really good too. Hope that changes she wants will make it stricter. DO NOT allow NCAA to have any say. They have become an untouchable mafia that even the sports media fears. Had a friend whose white son tried to play tennis for Div I team. Had to jump through so many hoops to satisfy them and SEC that after 2 years of trying he finally enrolled in smaller college and holds several records there.

One of the big problems with college scholarships in the last 20 years, was the implementation of title IX forced colleges to give equal numbers and funding to both womens and mens sports. There are way more men interested and competitive in sports than there are women. This results in women who were bench warmers getting full rides to prestigious institutions while state champions in lesser funded sports like wrestling can't get any scholarship at all. It also results in huge new softball stadiums for girls in which on a couple of dozen spectators ever sit.

I think schools should get out of the athletic business completely. Scholarships should be based on academic skills and/or need. It makes sense to have intermural leagues where students compete, but it should be secondary to actual academics.

I don't have a problem with sport's scholarships, but whenever you try to make things that are organically unequal equal, you will have unfortunate consequences.

That makes sense to me. Private and public could both be part of the NCAA though so if it's banned for public schools only it would create a weird situation where all trannys go to private schools. What if you had an entire basketball team of those nutjobs?

Either way I don't like to give an inch. This shit wasn't even a thing 5-10 years ago. Give them colleges and they will keep inching their way forward just like they do with gun rights.

I think your position is reasonable.
