It's already obvious that disabled people can't get sports scholarships, and I don't hear them complaining about it, so your virtue-signaling on their behalf is misguided. There are many different types of scholarships based on skills or characteristics. Personally, I do agree with you that college should be more accessible. You might not think that sports scholarships should exist period, but the fact is, men would take priority over women for sports scholarships. The reason that sports are segregated by sex is because males have a biological advantage. Getting rid of this segregation, which was implemented for fairness, would give men an unfair advantage when it comes to access to scholarships.

    I'm guessing you're a man from your username. I guess that's why you don't think women's sports is as important as men's. Colleges have and will continue to have sports teams, and will give scholarships to students they want on their teams. After reading the publication you sent me, I agree that students on sports scholarships shouldn't have their aid rescinded after injury. I also agree that aid should be easier for disabled people to access. I do not agree that just because some people are incapable of obtaining a scholarship, that scholarship shouldn't exist at all. You sound like a whiny kid who thinks that just because he can't have something, nobody should.
