    That's just crazy, I think he should have his route running down pretty well by now.

    Doesn't bother me one bit. Might be a sign of things to come anyway...

    Title IX and this nonsense. I do wonder, why is it that there are 4 more sports offered at the UO for women than men? I was a really good baseball player in HS but UO didn't have a team because of Title IX. The same thing ended up happening to the wrestling program for Oregon youth wrestlers. Why isn't variety of sports offered a consideration for equality? Women have more overall avenues to higher education scholarship by virtue of having a greater variety of sports options. Why must a male athlete be subject to playing football(a most dangerous sport) if he wants to increase his odds of playing for a scholarship at the collegiate level?

    This is something I wrote a paper about as a college freshmen back in 1998 because I was still miffed by the lack of opportunities for baseball players in Oregon. How long ago was that? Why has the problem only got worse? Why is it important to fund a team of lacrosse players from Maryland because they have a vagina?

    Because it's not about the # of sports, it's about the # of scholarships. There is no women's team at UofO that has 85 scholarship athletes.

    It’s just weird to me. Start a career, get the ball rolling on something

    If that's what he wants to do, that's fine too. Doesn't impact me either way.

    I sure would hope that McCormick has at least one Master's degree by now. Maybe even working on his doctorate

    You do know they get paid now in college. Why would you ever leave if they keep paying?

    Enough for school, to eat really good meals, live in Miami, and have cash left over.

    Not a bad gig.

    I could have been coerced to do that until I was 30 without question.
