Title IX was and continues to have honorable intentions. Two wrongs do not make a right. There is no place for discrimination in sports. The Department of Education has created a thinly disguised quota system called proportionality that serves only to eliminate male participation opportunities in athletics.
Presently females have more scholarships than men do in all counterpart sports.
Money is not the problem and football is not the problem, the quota called proportionality is the problem. The rules do not require equality in funding they require equality in participation. The Department of Education says that there are other ways to avoid charges of discrimination besides their quota but in reality the Department of Education does not recognize these ways except as stepping stones to the quota. The Federal District Court in California has ruled that it is a violation of Title IX to eliminate males in order to achieve a quota. Despite this and pending an appeal schools continue to eliminate opportunities for males to participate in sports at an alarming rate.
