The number of ignorant comments targeting rowing is uninformed and misdirected. She’s speaking on behalf of ALL non-revenue producing sports which is basically every sport on campus not named football or basketball.

Oh these sports are done. Liberals wanted athletes paid. They got what they wanted. These other sports simply don't have the money. They are done

Isn't rowing one of the sports that elite colleges use to channel industry plants and wealthy kids into scholarships?

Rowers come from families in the 1%. Their families and former alumni rowers can easily pass the hat and fund the program. This is bananas coming largely from the people that don’t believe in handouts.

When will Americans just admit to ourselves we appreciate socialist ideals as long as it doesn’t benefit minorities

She’s annoying. Club sports are a drain on public colleges

Frankly, the only athletes who should have a say in this are football and basketball players. There wouldn't be college sports if it weren't for them. If they think reform is needed, then sure, let's hear what they have to say. Everyone else should just be grateful they get to play their sport in college.

So Republicans are for DEI when it’s taking money away from black male football and basketball players.

Her sport shouldn’t even be funded by the college

Why the fuck are we giving rowing taxpayer money

This isn’t about her or her scholarship. It’s about cutting non-revenue/Olympic sports from publicly funded universities in order to pay for football & basketball players. If you have no interest in the nationalism/patriotism of Olympic or women’s sports, you probably don’t care.

Football already pays for you to row. How about make your own money and support yourselves

Nobody “deserves” to play sports in college. Despite this bullshit speech this chick wrote.

No one should get paid addionally for playing college sports if they are already getting free tuituon and room board. That IS their payment.

Sports are already meaningless as is. Why are we now taking money from athletes who pull in money and giving it to… competitive women’s boat rowing? Fucking hell.

Nobody is entitled to a rowing scholarship. Rowing is a severely net negative on a university’s budget. If these people love rowing so much then they need to engage in private fundraising to save their sport. This fake crisis of college sports needs Congress to intervene is BS.

What's remarkable is that NCAA football players are being paid because they entertain the fans, whereas she is demanded to be subsidized because it's good for HER growth.

Rowing generates no money and is supported by title ix taking from more lucrative sports so she "has an even playing field". Gotta love it
56
Tell us again how title is redistributed money from profitable sports (football and basketball) to create a fair playing field hockey

Didn't mention one single thing this bill protects her from.

It’s time for the girl dads and the boss babes to fund their own programs. Quit taking the men’s teams money and holding the male sport alumni hostage to pay for this dei bullshit. They already got more women than men in college we gotta pay for them too?
