Some people argue that this should be done for affirmative action as well. Affirmative action and Title IX cannot even be considered in the same arena. Affirmative action is set up to provide equal opportunities for employment purposes and affects everyone in the public and private sector. Title IX, as far as we are concerned as members of the Football Coaches Association, deals with athletes and is governed by educational institutions. The law has accomplished what it was set to accomplish.
Women now have the same opportunities as men do concerning sports.
The groundwork of Title IX has been set and that's really all Title IX can accomplish. The affects of Title IX have done nothing but hurt athletics as of recent years. The majority of male athletes eliminated have been talented non-scholarship reserves whose elimination saves very little in cost and doesn't create opportunities for women. Women will still receive the same opportunities that Title IX set out to accomplish without achieving success at the expense of men's athletics. Allowing Exceptions By Isaac Hjermstad I can't think of many things in this world that doesn't have exceptions.
