• Men's Cross country leads the list of most-dropped NCAA programs in the last 15 years losing 183 teams, according to the NCAA's 1982-2002 Sponsorship and Participation Report. Indoor track (180), golf (178), tennis (171), rowing (132), outdoor track (126), swimming (125) and wrestling (121) are other men's teams on the most-dropped list.

• In 1979, there were 107 men's gymnastic teams at NCAA schools; there are now 20 men's college teams.

• In 1985 there were 253 male athletes per NCAA campus. In 2001 there were 199 male athletes per NCAA campus.

• Participants in collegiate intramural sports, which are totally interest-driven, are about 78% male.

• There are nearly 1000 more women's teams than men's teams in the NCAA. This is after a decade of proportionality has caused the loss of thousands of male athletes through forced squad size reductions and the dropping almost 400 men's teams.

• With males projected to be only 41% of college students by 2009 it is clear that proportionality will mean that men will only have half as many NCAA teams as women - and that this will entail the elimination of anywhere from a third to a half of NCAA male athletes.
