Coming off the heels of this weeks 50th anniversary of Title IX and hearing conversations around the topic, I discovered this data that I personally didn’t believe until I read it myself. I wasn’t expecting a low percentage but this is pretty astonishing. Several other articles confirmed this but were behind paywalls. www.womenssportsfoundation.org/advocacy/what-is-title-ix/ |

I read through the article yet no specific examples are given. Due to football, as stated in the article, although not recommended, men's sports have been cut or are not offered. We only need to look at men's D1 soccer where women's soccer exists at universities but no men's programs. Where there are men's programs, women's total scholarship numbers are more than men's. While I support women's athletics having coached high level competitive ball for 10 plus years, I don't think this outcome was the projected result.

In the article the point was made that people may blame Title IX (or women athletes) when some men's programs are shutdown. It bears repeating, '...it is dysfunctional to “pit the victims against the victims” — men’s non-revenue sports against women’s sports, both of which have been traditionally underfunded...'

…Since the article was written in 1998, seems nothing much has changed.

I believe the poster was making the point that due to funding, men's sports were cut to ensure the requirement for funding was met for women's teams. There is no argument there. I believe UGA started a women's aquestrian team to help meet the requirement. By the way, they fund women's soccer but do not have men's.
