Prove it's the liberals and feminists behind this. Take your politics somewhere else.
Bwahaha! Keep fooling yourself my man. Smh

Read closer and remember the ways Teague's initial "goal" has changed. Remember the Bierman tear-down that is no longer. Remember the other sports getting A+ upgrades along with football and basketball.
Remember the $190M.
I'm a fan of putting money into football and basketball - but can understand how issues could arise because of the lack of vision, planning and how the plan has been scaled back and changed.
They need to be smart about this and haven't been thus far.
I don't really get involved in the political discussions on GH ever but I'd be shocked if they weren't.

Rickman, it seems to me that this is as political as it gets. A complaint of gender discrimination to the US Dept of Ed Civil Rights office b/c the women's (and men's) track team is being displaced. Asking me to prove it's Liberals is like asking me to prove the National Organization of Women has a problem with Republicans. It's pretty obvious.
The equitable thing to do would be to cut both the men's and women's track teams. If this is the first that Norwood heard of this, it is a cowardly move.
Seems to me a small group of people only care about themselves and not what's good for the entire group. Sounds like a right winger's wet dream.
This is the fundamental problem of Liberals, maybe some feminist rights folks in this case, thinking that success is a zero-sum situation. They take the short view of, if you take the track from us, you will gain at our expense. Instead of figuring out that if the biggest revenue sport succeeds that $ucce$$ will be shared with all of our sports programs, women's programs included. God that is dumb!
Your constant crap is getting old.
Very disappointed in the admin for not banning you.
Please go away.
So is blaming Liberals or any other group of individuals with some sort of collective thought process. Since you don't know who this person or people are how about you leave it at "they seem to be taking a short view".
This isn't really about track and field. Yes, those folks may be complaining loudly, but the displacement of their stuff is not the real issue from a Title IX perspective.
The issue is providing what may be seen as unjustified or over-the-top better treatment of the football program under the ever-changing U's plans.
The arguments get trickier when you go from, "hey we're going to knock down Bierman.. even the Olympic sports folks are going to get great new upgrades!"... to what may appear to be a football Taj Mahal to some and putting most other sports on the backburner.
"Yes, football is getting great new facilities.. but so are a ton of different sports!"... now has turned into something different.
It'll be interesting to see how the U maneuvers through this one. The lack of vision, planning (from a priority and game plan perspective) and reasonableness ($190M, private funding) displayed so far is worrisome.
I'd like to see revenues allocated to building new football and basketball facilities pronto. That's a personal view.
I see how the way the U's plan has changed can be problematic from several perspectives.

Won't the women's team be able to use the basketball facilities?
The new basketball facility is for both the men and women.
