A group of varsity student-athletes at the University of Oregon alleges the school treats its men's teams far better.

Thirty-two female athletes at the University of Oregon filed a federal lawsuit against the school Friday alleging Title IX violations in women's sports, namely, the beach volleyball and club rowing teams.

The 115-page suit, filed by26 women's beach volleyball players and six women's club rowers, alleges the University of Oregon has been "depriving them of equal treatment and benefits, equal athletic financial aid and equal opportunities to participate in violation of Title IX," adding that the school treats "its varsity male student-athletes shockingly better than its varsity female student-athletes."

Oregon does not meet the three "areas of compliance" under Title IX set by the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, the suit alleges: Equal treatment and benefits, equal athletic financial assistance and effective accommodation of student’s athletic interest and ability.

Mens sports are revenue generating where women's are typically money sinks. Not surprising this doesn't happen more often since the disparity in treatment is so obvious.
