Title IX is affirmative Action for suburban white girls. That is where virtually all college athletes come from. Just look at all of the white girls on the bowling team at HBUs so that those schools can try to comply with Title IX.
I wonder how much title IX adds to tuition costs. Quite a lot I’d guess.
Title IX does not add anything to “tuition.” However, it does add something like $100-200 per student in some form of fees at the schools where the football or men’s basketball team does not generate enough money to cover costs. However, the cost of the sports aspects of Title IX are small versus the tuition increases driven by adding a huge number of students in soft, pink collar majors such as social work or communications.
Yes, let the light finally shine, not only on this law, but on the faulty interpretation that is wreaking havoc on men’s sports. No one can deny that women in sports is a good thing, however, assuming that women and men have equal demand and therefore must have equal numbers is absurd. What if we applied it to arts activities and started kicking girls out of dance and music clubs to even out the numbers? People must begin to realize that the laws detractors are not against women’s sports, just the unfair demands that are hurting all sports programs.
It’s beyond absurd reading the stories of women’s crew teams starting up to equalize Title IX counts and then the colleges having to recruit women out of the dormitory halls who have never once set hand to oar. Providing opportunities for women to play sports in college is one thing. Manufacturing those opportunities is quite another.
Another thing that bothers me is the apex fallacy among these activists – they spout off about “opportunities men have always had,” without acknowledging (or realizing, probably) how exceptional a male athlete has to be to get a college football or basketball scholarship. It’s probably less than 1% of seniors who even get seriously recruited by D-I programs let alone get a ride.
Even many good high school football coaches only coach one or two Division I prospects in a career (others coach at major feeder programs and see that talent regularly).
