The result is that a sport that requires lots of members on a team - like football or wrestling - is going to suck up a lot of space on the men's side. The guys who golf, play tennis etc get screwed, just because there isn't a women's sport that has teams that large. The other alternative is to overpack the women's sports teams, which isn't fair to them.
Like I said, good concept, bad execution. |
Sounds like the problem with the non-D1 schools is the insistence on a football team then. Title IX is NOT why guys teams get "screwed." Title IX is why womens teams
don't get screwed nearly as often. Without it, during funding cuts, womens teams are the first to go, with it, both genders lose sports funding at about an equal pace.
I don't think there's another way to achieve the goal of IX in a society that devalues women's sports as ours does.
