Anybody knows what getting rid of Title IX means for college athletics?
In the past, sometimes it was difficult for non-big schools to compete, because essentially you needed to add women’s sports so that the number of men’s schollies was essentially equal to the number of women schollies. And when you have football; you gotta add a lot of women’s sports to make up for the difference. It’s why you might see Women’s Track and Field and Women’s soccer and Women’s Swimming, for example, without seeing counterpart men’s teams.
Does this mean D1 colleges can dump some of the dead weight women’s teams that are just money pits?
I think it’s a bad decision, but understand the politics (I don’t agree with them at all, biologically born men shouldn’t be playing women’s sports, no ifs ands or buts about it for me).
