Ah, the Terrapins. The University of Maryland breaks new Title IX ground by making cheerleading a sport, and offering scholarships to women (only) for participation. I'm not sure which part of "Higher, faster, farther" cheerleading falls under.
It's a scam, of course, as they wanted to add more men's scholarships, and this was the only way they could think of to do so. Could they have made the women's ice hockey club a University-recognized varsity sport instead and given them the scholarships? Well, sure, but that wouldn't have been as history-making as making cheerleading a varsity sport.
