One impact of Title IX, especially at the college level, has been the elimination of men’s sports so the numbers of male and female athletes are equal. It’s especially true in non-revenue sports.

It was intended for Title IX to promote women’s athletics, but like so much Federal legislation, it hasn’t exactly done what was intended.

It’s a simple fact - successful football programs are money-makers, sometimes paying the freight for most other sports at a school. So they need to stay.

actually the fact mens sports has been eliminated save for the money making sports, is one of the reasons fewer boys are going to university.

Today a girl can get an athletic scholarship for just being WILLING to do a sport. (ie rowing teams in the desert)
