There are infinetely more boys playing AAU basketball than girls.....and yet just as many girls get scholarships to play basketball as boys, right? So I would say its less competitive for a girl to earn a bball scholarship than a boy, just as it is with soccer.
Go watch a middle school basketball game and watch the boys games versus the girls games. There is nowhere near the depth of talent on the girls end of things.....
No doubt football makes dollar for dollar spending impossible. But it would be interesting.....fascinating even (with apologies to Chico) to compare average spending in the ACC if you threw out the top sport for both boys and girls.
My guess is without football......I would be shocked to see equal spending. My guess is it would be weighted towards the girls.
