I don't get why people are complaining about Title IX. Without Title IX, do you think schools would provide more scholarships to other men's sports? Are you serious? Schools will just provide less scholarships and profit more money. There's no way that schools will decide to provide more scholarships for men's sports. They're providing scholarships for sports that schools care about like football and basketball.

Title IX is just forcing schools to provide more scholarships for women than they want, but it's not taking away from men since schools weren't planning on providing any to some of men's sports from the start.


Take a look at college wrestling before Title IX, during the early stages of Title IX and today. If you did, I don't know how you could reach the above conclusion. Does the University of Delaware reflect where the trend is headed for Men's XC/Track and Field?

Also, for a lot of people here, the negative affects of Title IX go beyond just scholarships to participation. Some schools are limiting participation of non-scholarship male athletes in order to comply with Title IX. Is there any pressure on college drama or dance programs to limit participation of females and increase participation of males? No, there isn't.[/quote]
