Title IX exploits women’s athletics, hinders men’s

Article here. Excerpt:

'The most common, and most often dismissed, argument against Title IX is that it has led to the destruction of many men’s athletic teams. Hundreds of men’s wrestling, gymnastics and tennis teams have been cut from D-I athletics programs around the country in order to allow universities to meet Title IX proportionality requirements, according to 60 Minutes. While this should be cause for concern for those who claim to support equality in college athletics, it is often dismissed as unimportant or blamed on football.

There are many Title IX supporters who claim that if universities would spend less on football, they would be able to have as many wrestlers and male gymnasts as they wanted. This is a ridiculous argument, however, in a country that is built on the tradition of college football.

Football makes millions of dollars for universities every year, and cutting their funding for less profitable sports is hardly in the best interest of college athletics.

Why is this a problem? It’s a problem for female athletes because they don’t get the scholarships they need or deserve, and it’s a problem for male athletes because, unless they’re football players, their team is in danger of getting axed in favor of proportionality. While this might seem like a problem with universities and not with Title IX, the loopholes in the legislation are to blame for the exploitation that is occurring.'
