do these kids get scholarships and if yes how much? With title IX do they measure the number of boy/girl scholarships or the monetary amount to figure out how to dole them out ?

Was adding an equestrian team really necessary? Surely we could have added another women's sport that wasn't quite as elitist. Gotta be a cheap sport for SMU to host though

Equestrian is an NCAA emerging sport being pushed by the horse industry. Based on the schools participating it does not appear to be very elitest. I know it can be a rich kids activity but I know there are girls participating who come from middle class backgrounds who happen to just love horses.
