I keep wondering about gender equity issues, not just at Stanford but at many schools.  ... Female athletes in general have higher GPAs, higher graduation rates, and higher retention rates than male athletes at most schools once they get there ...

So, which side is being discriminated against?

We just had the conversation about the Bamboo curtain, that Asian Americans were perhaps held to higher admissions standards than others.  I'm not sure I am convinced by that argument, but isn't this in principle the same issue?  Women are held to higher standards for admission than men?  At least women basketball players are held to higher standards than male basketball players? 

It is an honest question.  I'm sure athletics has thought about this before.
