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.
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.
On what does he base that argument?
I don't think folks here are necessarily saying Title IX is a bad thing. No, cutting programs cannot be blamed on Title IX.
And, yet, there are a few posts on here that say Title IX is bad and the cutting of programs is due solely to its existence. If that's not what they mean, they need to communicate more clearly.
