Eric is right. Not to mention that the bottleneck in softball isn't nearly what it is in men's sports, where there are millions of dollars at the end of the rainbow. I'd venture to guess that there are a lot more girls who are going to college based on their academic desires and just want to play ball where they go to school, as opposed to trying to compete with a percent of a percent to go somewhere that can land them in professional sports, where those measurables are the only thing that separates a lot of players. There is also a lot more money tied up in coaching men's sports (I don't have any numbers to back this up, however), even at lower levels, and likely more pressure to bring in kids who pass the eye test.
False. The chance of a girl playing college softball is less than a boy playing football. This is straight off the ncaa website. These show the percentage of hs players that play in college.
