Title IX as it is currently applied is a quota dagger directed at ALL men, minorities included. Ironic, isnt it, how indiscriminate quotas favoring one special group can punish even "the disadvantaged" who have actually earned their position through merit?! If this quota law isnt perverted, I dont know what would be.

What I enjoy seeing is bean-counters like this author whining when some other activist's bean-counting strategies negatively affect his particular brand of bean.

It's all about football. Basically, if you give 85 scholarships to men's football, you have to give 85 scholarships to ladies (fill in the blank) sports or cut 85 scholarships to men's sports. This is stupid since football is almost always a profit center. The gross revenues of football money goes into a money pool then is doled out "equally" for men and women. What should happen is that the net revenue (not gross) from football should be put into a money pool that is doled out equally. Currently, when the gross is split up, 80 % of the men's money goes to football which leaves little or nothing for all the other men's sports.

I love how its only a problem if it disadvantages minority men. If it was just affected white men, well that would be just peachy. Screw Em. It's their fault for being born white and male.

I've read that 57% of all college students are female. Some parts of the university are overwhelmingly female. Look at the people who major in English, in Music, in Art. They are overwhelmingly female. The university's resources are being used disproportionately for females. By Title 9 logic this would have to change by means of arbitrarilly eliminating the female dominated parts of the university.
Arizona State University had the best gymnastics team in the world during much of the 1980's. They were feeding people to the US Olympic team and these people were winning gold medals. ASU by itself could defeat the best teams of other countries. But you see females don't do gymnastics at the college level. They are past their prime by the time they get to college. So, the men's program was eliminated for the sake of fairness.
Republicans and democrats alike are slime, because they bring us this type of government. Throw them all out on their backsides.

Nixon shouldn't have been impeached for Watergate, he should have been impeached for signing this monstrousity.

liberalism means civilizational suicide.
Also, I may be wrong, but I think Bobby Douglas, the author, is a black fellow. So sad to me that he has a stronger argument in his article to say that title 9 hurts minority men, rather than just say that title 9 hurts american men. Everyone is to be pigeon-holed, categorized and judged by their race, their gender, and most important, whether they adhere to politically correct attitudes. This is the equality that liberals bring us.
