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.
I don't think folks here are necessarily saying Title IX is a bad thing. No, cutting programs cannot be blamed on Title IX. As I said before, Title IX protects both sexes. It is the CHOICE OF THE ADs to blame in how they choose to comply with Title IX. My suggestions above are a way to force a change in the way the courts interpret equal opportunity. This will affect how ADs choose to abide by the spirit of Title IX.
Of course, my husband pointed out that there would not be as much scholarship money available to women if it was not for football. Don't know if I can attack that argument.
