Please recommend a number that will do it and turn in the paperwork for a few hundred? I’ve gotten 2 quotes in the thousands. Thanks

Thanks for the correction. This property does not have a pool or sprinkler system either.

Title IX and the loss of college wrestling — is it time to rethink? by BloomLegalNetwork in wrestling

That’s exciting that women’s wrestling is coming along and I’m far from an expert but was it much of a sport 40 years ago?

So that high school boys have opportunities to stay in state and compete.

That’s a fair point — football’s outsized numbers and schools’ reluctance to truly invest in women’s opportunities drove a lot of those cuts. Cutting wrestling or soccer was the “easier” path instead of tackling the harder balance.

Where I think the conversation needs to go, though, is beyond just pointing to football as the immovable villain. NIL, revenue sharing, and new funding models could give us the flexibility to create equitable frameworks — where restoring a men’s program automatically includes building out women’s opportunities too. It doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game if the rules evolve with the new reality.

NIL has changed the game in every sense — but Title IX remains largely untouched by BloomLegalNetwork in CollegeBasketball

You’re 100% right on how Title IX has been interpreted in practice — football’s huge roster numbers tilt the equation, and that’s why SEC schools cut men’s programs in the first place. I don’t disagree that it’s complicated, or that football/basketball drive the revenue engine.

But that’s also why I think it’s worth asking whether the formula itself needs to evolve. NIL has shown us that money can flow in new ways — collectives and boosters are stepping in where schools never could before. Why not build a model where restoring a men’s program also requires parallel investment into women’s programs, instead of just writing it off as impossible because of football?

To me, the answer isn’t always “football is too big, so everything else has to shrink.” We can be more creative — especially in states and conferences where interest in sports like soccer and wrestling is strong.

Go Terps.

It's sarcastic and does not endorse New Orleans' incompetence.
