Olympic sports typically are limited to about 12-20 scholarships per


women's sport, with some (tennis and golf) having less. If they need 50 (which sounds too high), they would have to add three women's sports. My guess is that they probably need to add one, I would guess lacrosse would be the most likely. Both are limited to 132 scholarships, but lacrosse can use partials spread over a bigger roster, which helps for Title 9 balancing (if they are trying to even out the number of male vs. female stuent athletes). Gymnastics scholarships have to be full, which limits team size. Gymnastics also has a higher equipment budget and more injuries (insurance/medical cost), but can draw bigger crowds, has more NIL $ potential, and a bigger supply of potential recruits and fans in the area.
