Whenever a men's sport is eliminated, these educational institutions are blaming Title IX and women's sports. No - they're blaming the enforcement of the statute and the rules adopted pursuant to the statute. I have never heard of any institution blaming women's sports. They say they can't afford to add new women's sports programs as required by federal gender equity laws and keep men's Olympic sports. Federal gender equity laws don't require colleges to add new women's sports programs.
Federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race or gender.
Sports aren't even mentioned in the statute. I college athletic programs that could fund both women's sports and men's Olympic sports. What the public doesn't know is that these new moneys are being used to fuel the arms races being fought in college football and men's basketball. Lopiano's attack on football detracts from the issue of government-sanctioned discrimination against male athletes. The problem is not Title IX the law.
