Study: Both genders gaining in NCAA

Women’s collegiate athletics opportunities grew by almost 26,000 and men’s by about 7,000 at 738 NCAA schools between 1995-96 and 2004-05, according to a report released Tuesday by the Women’s Sports Foundation. The College Sports Council, an advocacy group for men’s sports that released a report in March showing men’s opportunities are declining, alleged the new report artificially inflates men’s numbers.
