The athletic director of North Idaho College is recommending that the school add a women's softball team, and drop both men's and women's track.
That would be a difficult decision, Jim Headley told NIC's board of trustees Wednesday evening. But it would be the best way to provide equal opportunity for students of both genders.
The college has struggled for a year with the question of making the athletic program fair, and making it legal under federal law. Currently, there are five men's sports and four women's sports.
