Title IX

Title IX.... created in 1972 for colleges and high schools to provide equal opportunities in sports. Therefore the establishment must give equal monies to both genders equally. Success in the program, women started participating in mandated sports... yay. Four decades later, is it necessarily still helping? Instead, its hurting the men.

What colleges are doing now is, instead of making women's endowement equal by investing more money into the program, they are removing money from the mens side to make it even. There aren't any women sports that equals a stocked football team.

Instead of enlisting athletes of a higher calliber, the bar is set at the minimum. There shouldnt be a federal program that caters to just doing the bare minimum. Just cater to everyone who needs money. They are discouraging the success of small teams. Baseball, wrestling, gymnastics, and swimming are the usual targets. UCLA had won the national championship over ten times....and the team was discontinued to appeal to finacial cuts.

Our men's swim team is a perfect example of the injustice. This past year they were stripped of all of their scholarship money. Thank you Title IX. All of our hard work from September to March isnt as rewardable as everyother sport on our campus.
