Title IX Destroys More Men's Gymnastics Programs

The reduction of 200 collegiate men's gymnastics programs to 21 since the introduction of Title IX is a major topic at this year's U.S. Gymnastics Championship, according to this article on Excite News. The article goes so far as to describe it as "an epidemic." Some colleges are trying harder to equalize things, though. "We've added five women's sports so we don't have to cut any men's sports," said Miles Avery, the head coach at Ohio State, which won the NCAA championship this spring. "Every athletic department can't do that, but that is the way it was intended. To add opportunities for women, not curtail opportunities for men."
