Why is this so bad for the women's game? Surely Males head off to uni too?

A higher percentage of Males tend to continue playing while at Uni. The girls care to much about results so tend to drop out of football as the study toughens up.

Can you point me to the stats on that?

No hard fax but Daughter went to Otago for 5 years - a lot of the females in comparison to males, dropped their sporting interest to concentrate on study. (The PE course the first year had 200 student. Gave a reasonable balance to make judgment.) others who played with here in wgtn went to other Universities around the country and majority gave up the football in the first year.
