  • Title IX does not require schools to cut any programs. It only requires schools to balance their programs. Schools should be adding women's sports, not cutting men's sports. There are plenty of institutions out there that aren't cutting any men's teams, and are in compliance with Title IX. There are plenty of schools out there who aren't giving out any scholarships, and are doing just fine with Title IX. I wish people would stop blaming Title IX for all of the problems, and instead start blaming the schools for the way they decide to equalize their athletic opportunities. -Rick I'm sure blame for loss of men's sports is multifactorial, but one cannot deny the impetus for many fence sitting programs was title IX litigation. Blaming schools is nice but will get you nowhere. The athletic programs are primarily accountable to rich alumni who only care if the men's football and/or basketball team wins. I'm certainly not going to blame all my problems on title IX; I've already had all of my schooling paid for and, as I've stated, have 3 girls in the pipeline. My only problems are an aching left shoulder, chronic back pain, eroding self-esteem, and 15 years until retirement.:kiss1:
