They do not have funding problems.  If  Title IX dictates they must have a certain number of women\'s programs,  then they will do it right if the coach can convince the athletic director.  Apparently the AD was convinced and Alabama has aggressively built its women\'s program over the years.  Apparently having virtually no admissions problems pays off, although it would not surprise me if-- following the national collegiate trend-- the women gymnasts graduate at a higher rate than the athletes in Alabama\'s men\'s program.
