Let's keep cutting men's sports. Hey.... it's the economy now, not Title IX.
I find this reasoning amusing.

NCAA's Brand: Don't fault Title IX for Future Cuts
Author: ASA News
Blog URL: allstudentathletes.com/.../ncaabrandtitleix
Description:
Brand expects some schools to drop men's teams in coming months because
of the economic downturn. He is urging them in advance to cite the
economy, not the law that bans sex discrimination at schools receiving
federal funds.
To claim that Title IX has only had positive effects during it's implementation is laughable. To claim that it has not effected secondary men's sports is absurd.
Who has made either of these claims? Yes, they are laughable.
Fact is there is only so much money in the athletic budget pie, and when it's cut up to serve more women than previous, the pieces get smaller for the rest of the recipients.
God forbid we right a wrong and let women have anything if it might affect the privileged male status quo! Do you realize what you are saying here? Again, your problem is the amount of money spent on MEN for football and basketball. Feminists are not to blame for MEN obsessing over these two sports and making the pool of money available for other men's sports smaller. The fact that Title IX forced universities to spend some money on women (when they had been spending none) does not change the fact that football is the main culprit. And you can't blame that on feminists for god's sake. They are the last ones watching football.
