I guess you haven't seen much ice hockey. Most games involve a goalkeeper, three lines and two or three set of defenders, since substitutions are usually performed on the fly.
What schools have full-up 85-scholarship womens football teams?

This is an asinine comment. The football revenue funds much of non-revenue generating sports in college athletic programs. It is an outlier and should not be used to "even-up" the gender scholarship count.
If we take your mentality, we should just fund men's sports from football revenue...
I think you just like to banter to pass the time....
If your stated goal is to have equal scholarships for boys and girls then it makes sense to either reduce the number of scholarships for football or increase the number of scholarships for girls across sports. You can't have it both ways.
Of course it's asinine. The situation is asinine - the big schools start with 85 scholarships handed out to men, by far the most of any sport, and then try to balance that with little accommodations here and there, or outright things such as sponsoring a sport only for women. For example - NCAA has a complete DI program for womens crew, including a national championship tournament, but nothing for men.
So I'm clear. soccer = coach has recruited you. That may mean money, it may mean nothing. But they will tell Admin they want you and they are not over their budget for how many get in. For that athlete - they are in - if they are also a 25%er or more. Sometimes less.
There are 2X as many soccer scholarships for women as for men allowed nationally by the NCAA. More teams and more spots per team.
For rowing it is in the 20s for girls 0 for guys.
For football it is (*I recall*) 108 - girl or guy.

I don't like any of it. But demand is totally different based on sport and gender. I expect those in some sports train twice as long/or hard as others. It is really very hard to make it fair IMO. Rowing is an easy full ride for girls. It is a hard sport, but they often don't fill rosters. Same I hear for woman's golf.
I have seen proposals that the few schools that actually turn a profit with football could start an organization independent from NCAA just to play "collegiate" football. The FBS schools are heading that way anyway.
Where do you get the 2X number from?
That was a miss type. 2X for DI soccer.
Almost exactly 2X allowed (not all are funded).
I am looking at opportunity. I do believe in the case of soccer, more girls play.
Women's teams 333DIX13 (or is it 14) = 4,329
Men's teams 206X9.9 = 2,039
DII offers 9.9 for girls.
Very freeing...
About 4 years ago I noticed my kid was a real good shot with his AirSoft gun. I called the rifle coaches for the USAFA coach and the Navy and said my son was a real good shot - could you get him in. Later I called the rowing coach at the Navy and said my son was a real good engine - could you get him in. No real bites from that. Soccer would have worked IMO. I did that to another school (Ivy) and it was "come on over". Each coach / program is different. In the end it was he didn't want to shoot as a sport and didn't want to row. He wanted to cycle.
Now - that he is there - he is a really good shot. I'm curious how this will play out as to your point - nothing matters for money. So will he want to shoot or cycle. Cycling is club and certainly 2nd class. Rowing is not there. Rifle is an NCAA sport and pretty respected. They are also in great shape and control of mind and body to shoot calm, and between heart beats.
What makes a Service Academy and Ivy "pure" is the choice does not affect much at all. It is a choice based on what they want to do.
Yes - very accurate like bottom left.
His first and only go at the shooting range he was also precise and grouped them very well like top right - but was less accurate. Borrowed gun.

It is the skin of a Kangaroo and made into leather, then a shoe is both supporting and flexible and was the most popular material - for a while.
What percentage of soccer players can afford these "shoes", and is it fair?
The same that can afford club.
Nothing is fair.
Ill make sure those rich bastards pay for everything!
Hows that for fair?
