SAN DIEGO (KOGO) - San Diego State University is slapped with a sex discrimination class action lawsuit alleging the college doles out more financial aid to male athletes. LaDona and Ted talk with Arthur Bryant, attorney for the plaintiffs in the case.
SDSU released a statement about the lawsuit:
"The truth is that SDSU awards approximately 95 percent of all possible scholarships permitted under NCAA rules for both its men’s and women’s teams, with the remaining fraction explained by legitimate reasons within SDSU coaches’ discretion. NCAA rules prohibit all schools, including SDSU, from giving unlimited athletic scholarships. To exceed these limits would make student-athletes ineligible to compete."
