They aren't afraid of losing their scholarships. They are terrified of being called bigot. If they aren't willing to lift a finger or say a word themselves I say to hell with them. Be content with coming in forth.

Two of my daughters were NCAA Division 1 athletes - the youngest in swimming - recently (2020) ended her career with 4 years swimming in the Big 10.

You don't graduate today without some element of wokeness. When she came home during Covid for her final undergrad semester - she was Pro-BLM and Pro-Trans rights. Luckily her older sisters got on her case.

The Lia Thomas 'thing' confused her at first - you have to be pro-trans today in college - but discovering 'she' was an 'intact male' attracted to women created what Scott Adams calls 'classic cognitive dissonance'. Her siblings made short work of that :-)

Saved me from having any discussion on that topic!
