The D1 hockey scholarship limit is 18. Add that to the 22 we need to add for FBS football and you are looking in the ballpark of 40 women's schollies we would need to add to stay in compliance. Add to that the fact that at least one of the women's sports we would likely add (golf) is only 6 and the numbers are a challenge. We could add women's hockey and pick up another 18, but that still leaves us about 15 short. Equestrian is 15, which would do the trick. It's an interesting possibility,since most of the facilities are in place for all of those sports. An option to equestrian would be to add both bowling (5) and water polo (8). I actually like that a lot better, and it would increase the utilization of the natatorium, which is a ridiculously expensive facility to maintain.
