The Dollies are part of the band, as I understand it, so I surmise they are now controlled by the athletic department.
Where do the cheerleaders fit in?
Do the band members now count toward Title IX numbers? If there were some band competition that they participated in, would they then count?
Might some wealthy alumnus/alumnae now make a scholarship for the band or Dollies?
Cheerleaders have always been under the Athletic Department and not related to the Band.
I doubt that the Band will have an impact on Title IX numbers.
A number of wealthy alumni have already made considerable donations to the Band over the years, but I don't believe anyone has ever endowed a specific scholarship for any particular Band position, and I would be very surprised if that ever happened.
