Coaches salaries and number of paid assistants must be the same and any money allocated to baseball by the school must be allocated to softball as well.
Wait a minute.....you're a fellow Saluki? Go Dawgs.The funding source doesn't matter. In Title IX, the issue is whether the facilities are comparable, not who paid for them.
At my alma mater, Dave Stieb, SIU alum and former pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays, built a great facility for the men's baseball field. SIU was later forced to build a comparable facility with their own money.
Now, if you are a big $$$ donor, the schools encourage spending for multi-purpose athletic training facilities rather than facilities for a specific team or sport.
OP, is it possible, the boys teams are paying more in fees for their uniforms? How many fundraisers are the girls having vs the boys?
If boys have better uniforms and extras (beyond the basic field), it's likely because the PARENTS paid lots of money to the booster club to make it that way.
If you want better uniforms, hitting cages, etc. then pay for them. Start some fundraisers, golf tourneys, sell discount cards, have car washes, etc.
Your DD got a uniform? My DD got a jersey.
Baseball team seems to have the gear they need. I bought 2 dozen balls and a hitting net for the softball team because the ones they had last year seemed to have disappeared magically disappeared.
Hmmm...
Would rather have better coaches paid appropriately.
And wear a t-shirt uniform playing on the lawn.
Is that oversight or overlooked... ?!
