Women's sports just cannot match the revenue power of the men's sports. This is not the Universities fault and it is definitely not the fault of men. Yes, women should be able to have organized teams and scholarships to field those teams, but forcing men's sports to operate on the same budget as women's sports is ludicrous. Imagine if the NBA had to operate on the same budget as the WNBA. The WNBA has a league salary of 12 million dollars .yes, a LEAGUE salary.

The problem with Title IX is that somebody along the way decided to translate what was a great policy to insure the rights of women when it came to education, into a policy about quotas and equality in competition. There is no reason why women's sports cannot thrive on the collegiate level while male sports maintain the greatness they have had. Gone are the superior men's gymnastic and swimming teams from UCLA along with storied football programs from Northridge and Boston University. Men are being stripped of their opportunities to compete. Not so that women's sports can be created those teams could exist also, but these teams are being lost because feminists push for ridiculous quotas to be strictly followed. The day will soon come when men's collegiate sports like volleyball, wrestling and swimming no longer exist. Despite the idea that Title IX would help women athletes, the numbers have actually caused the elimination of traditional women's teams such as gymnastics in favor of large-squad sports (Schlafly 2). Was this really what Edith Green desired when she penned Title IX 30 years ago?
