Yeah... I was just reporting the results of a google search - definitely not of any statistical merit.

I would be interested on anecdotal evidence based on officials doing multiple girl/boy sports and their local observations.

Me, too.
On the scholarship expectations front, I do think that the rush of colleges to offer female sports has resulted in parents having an unrealistic perspective on what it takes to be a Div 1 level scholarship athlete, and has resulted in parents pushing their daughters early and agressively to get on the gravey train.
They don't stop to calculate that if they took all that money they pay for travel, coaches, clinics, etc., etc., beginning at age 9 and put it in a college fund, they could easily just pay for their daughter's education!
