Title IX was a good concept, but the execution sucks monkey balls.

Excuse me? I find it VERY hard to believe that ANY D-1 school is having problems finding female athletes wanting to play their chosen sport in college. Having two very athletic daughters who played sports in high school, no one had to cajole them into playing.The also played on club teams. They both have friends who play/played in college and believe me, these girls worked incredibly hard to get to that level, and to be noticed by college coaches. There are lots and lots of girls competing for the same one sixth of a scholarship (the number of scholarships often does not equate to the number of spots on a team, thus they are broken up) place on any college team. No one had to drag them kicking and screaming onto the team. My daughters, their friends, my future granddaughters (should I have any) all have the same right as their guy friends, my future grandsons, (once again, should I have any) my nephews, to play sports at the collegiate level if they have the talent and commitment to do so.
