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

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.
My last comment (for know) Amy with regard to your posts is you constantly talk about the "past" with regard to Titile IX...we are all (I think) arguing for the here and the now and that means accept the positives that Title IX created but also the unintended negatives and let's try and get them corrected...when a law is adopted but found to have loopholes in it that allow others to misuse its still a poor law and because those of us who recognize this and want it corrected doesn't mean were all idiots and sexists.
Paul, I've continually said that I agree Title IX is being abused by those in power who want to throw more money at football. I'm not arguing that the law is perfect or being used today in only good ways. I think those of you who keep blaming Title IX alone for all the woes of men's second-tier sports need to phrase your complaints a little more carefully. When you drone on about Title IX being unfair, you need to clarify that you think what the law did in the past was entirely justified. Then, I won't have to refer to the past when I respond. The way some talk about it now, it sounds like you think the law should have been written to protect men back in the 1970's. You also need to address the REAL problem: FOOTBALL. If not for the complete dominance of that sport over all others, Title IX would be of little worry to you.
To be fair, your posts, Paul, have been less Neanderthal in nature than a few others.
