WESTERN MICH CUTS MENS CC/TRACK!

xcrunner0456

There actually is some truth to that. He is exaggerating quite a lot, but there is the little truth in his statement. There are certain teams that cannot cut girls from the team without risking problems from Title IX. THESE GIRLS ARE NOT GETTING MONEY, so personally I have no problem with having them run. But what is a shame is when dedicated guy walk-ons are cut to meet Title IX Quotas.

Title IX is an vastly complicated issue. I personally believe that it has some great intentions, but could be edited somewhat to make it a little more fair. There should be more done as far as getting younger girls interested in more sports early on, instead of just throwing money at the issue at the collegiate level. Playing the blame game, and cursing from both sides isn't going to help anything.
