	Unpardonable Interruptions - How television killed the newspaper sports column. By Stephen Rodrick (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Now, a sports column is nothing more than a springboard, a gig that starts you on your way to becoming a multimedia star.
		Cranky and supremely talented Los Angeles Times sports columnist T.J. Simers, a former ATH panelist, gave a look inside the sausage factory when he told the San Diego Union-Tribune in 2003 that "ESPN will hire you for your credibility, but after a minute, they've had enough of that," he said.
		But when a more talented writer goes for the fame and green of television and sports radio, the time suck of countless side projects cheats their readers.

	Title IX and Women in Sports
		The sheer number of girls playing sports at the high school level today -- 2.5 million -- indicates that even if you doubled the number of college opportunities for women, there would still be ten times as many women interested in playing sports in college than there are opportunities.
		Another claim made throughout the program is that gains made by women under Title IX have come at the expense of men's minor sports in particular.
		Moreover, men's minor sports suffer from the fact that football and basketball eat up the overwhelming share of the men's budget at many institutions, leaving very little money for men's minor sports.
