Kinda the opposite of sports drafts in which the worst teams get the top picks. Here the worst performers get the salt.
As much as i love the idea of rewarding the top teams every year, this does create the potential of a WAC (football wise) scenario, where there are 2 or maybe 3 elite teams, and the rest are left in the dust.
As long as OHIO is one of those elite teams, I think it's a good plan!
JSF, I like it when you talk Republican. And, I'll take your logic one step further and ask the following provocative question: Should Title IX continue to be enforced on the assumption that equal percentages of male and female students desire to participate in intercollegiate athletics?
The question to your question is whether that's the assumption. I don't think it is. It's an inelegant way of imposing equal opportunity, and I would rather have it or not. I am very open to an alternative to Title IX, but there has to be some way of ensuring that opportunity exists. I do think it's used as a scapegoat much more than it truly deserves blame.
We also have to consider whether we've reached the endgame of what Title IX was trying to accomplish. Whether or not people like it, I think we can agree it was a forward-thinking idea, and there are precious few of those coming out of our government.
