The truth is that people don't go to watch men's sports either -- except football and basketball. Women's basketball gets some audience. For nearly all other sports (except special circumstances like Lacrosse at Johns Hopkins, or hockey at University of North Dakota, etc.) it's all friends and family in the stands. The main problems with Title IX are that (a) football is not exempt -- it costs a lot of money but it also makes a lot of money, it pays for itself oftentimes and subsidizes the other sports as well as requiring an extraordinary number of players and (b) cheerleading is not in the mix -- that would help alleviate the disparity, and it should be added to the list of sports just because it really operates as one.
