$500k for the football players, maybe. Email them back and ask what the costs of the women’s swim team are.

Yet the women's swim team gets 14 scholarships TOTAL. As the father of competitive swimmers, I get a bit pissed off at this and the baseball scholarship thing, etc. Hey, everyone knows that football pays the bills, I got no problem with that. They should get the money they deserve. What I'm bitching about is how the minor and Olympic sports get the crumbs left from the football table. If you compete in an NCAA sport, you should have to provide enough scholarships for a full roster in every sport.
