Chico,

Again, I wonder how much of the statistics are skewed by football. So again, take 1 school....Clemson or USC and determine their athletic budget. Subtract football....then determine average amount per athlete based on gender.

Microview: agreed.
Macroview a: regarding best athletes playing sports other than soccer I agree in general. However, I would disagree at the highest levels. I would not say that Claudio Reyna is less athletic than....Raymond Felton.
Macroview b: agree in principle. woman soccer players in general rank higher in the hierarchy of female athletes than men do in the hierarchy of male athletics.
