Columnist David Whitley criticizes the status, conferred by the NCAA, of women's bowling as an intercollegiate sport as he recounts his search for the championship trophy in the halls of Vanderbilt University. (He never finds it--it seems to be off being cleaned somewhere.) He seems upset that the sport now "enjoys the same collegiate status as football." [Note: no intercollegiate sport enjoys the same status as football.]
And though Whitley claims to be all for women's equality and access to sport he sees the addition of bowling as evidence that "schools have turned sports into a semi-farce in order to stay ahead of the Title IX posse."
Why didn't anyone tell me there was a posse??
