Without wishing to dispute anyone's point, the men's (American) football team and the women's (soccer) football team are explicitly separated in their main activities. They share the weight room, but they're never required to collaborate with or compete with each other. Neither is taking space that seemed to more "naturally" belong to the other.
The atmosphere in the weight room was probably quite different before Title XI (the US law that forces parity in university sports programmes) became completely normalised.
