Oh yes, and that’s true for a lot of sports - more scholarships for women to counterbalance football for Title IX. Also I believe a factor in the declining number of college wrestling programs.
Beyond that, one thing that’s interesting to me about women’s rowing is that I’ve seen some women get admissions preference and/or scholarships with little high school experience in the sport . . . it seems like the demand for tall, strong and athletic women who aren’t already tracked into basketball, volleyball etc. may exceed the supply.
