My friend Sean out in Des Moines took a slightly different tact in tackling the football/Title IX issue. One thing he brings up (and I've always wondered) is how NFL teams can get by with 53 active players per week while college teams regularly have 60-70 active players. Granted, NFL teams can cut and replace players a bit easier than colleges, but it's still an interesting question, especially if carrying an extra 10-12 scholarships could mean the difference between keeping or eliminating something like a swimming, wrestling or gymnastics program.
