No, I'm not using the Title IX blog as a crutch.... But dagnabbit, they're the one who caught the news that Division III coaches have decided to put some limits on the use of male practice players.

I highly recommend reading their entry, particularly as it highlight the role of the student's voice in the process. While the use of male practice remains unregulated at the D-I and II level, a friend spoke to me about players she knew within those Divisions who were -- well, not afraid, exactly, but loathe to speak up for fear of garnering the wrath of their coaches and/or teammates.
