Titile IX

ces to police gender proportionality? No woman gets admitted until a man shows up. The same with hunting. No man gets to go into the woods until a woman shows up. It's just like the gym at Princeton. No man suits up until a woman decides she wants to play ball.” [23]Is this nondiscrimination? Certainly not.How can we “fix” Title IX? First, we can count the teams, not the roster spots when figuring out compliance. Every sport is different in the amount of players on the field at one time. Take for example football. Football demands 11 players on the field at one time, and that's just for either offense or defense. So you're really looking at 22. Then you have to have back-ups for those people, plus you have your special teams players. As for women's volleyball you maybe have 30 people on the whole team. It would make it much easier on men's teams and athletic programs if we did count teams instead of roster spots. It would allow men's sports to stay because now athletic departments wouldn't have to create new sports just to comply with title IX. This would leave the men's sports in place, instead of dropping them, which has done in athletic programs in previous years. We could also not count football in measuring proportionality. You can't name a women's sport that carries 100+ people on its roster. If we did count football in measuring proportionality, it would just hurt men's sports, because women's groups would look at the statistics and say, well the men's department has 150 more athletes than the women's department, it's not fair. In which case the athletic department would probably shut down a men's sport, just to satisfy women's groups and their title IX compliance. In the end, it's just going to hurt men's sport if we do count football in measuring proportionality. The third possibility is to not count revenue-producing sports in measuring proportionality. This would help keep our male/female proportionalit...
