Basically, if you give 85 scholarships to men's football, you have to give 85 scholarships to ladies

But most of the sports programs cut are small school Division III, which don't offer scholarships. Does that make sense? Its because of the safe harbor proportionality rule that apportions monies based on overall attendance in the college.

Did you know over 3 million boys play high school football every year? Thats more than any other sport by far. And that 60 % of the HS athletes are boys? Then why MUST less than 50% of college athletes be boys?

title ix has been great up to high school level. Beyond that it assumes that the same percentages of the genders WANT to participate. Girls don't and never will. BIOLOGY. Why aren't our social engineers asking why male college enrollment has dropped to 40%. If society is 48-49% male shouldn't men have that same percentage of spots at our public funded universities.
Men (and women with sons) need to get Active" on this title nine BS. Rowing!!!!!!! The most common added sport. Who the hell rows????
