We are seriously living in bizarro world. Title9 was supposed to help women basically forcing schools to give them an equal opportunity for girls/women sports. Now they've bastardized the whole thing. Sad clown world.
If I identify as a horse can I run in the Kentucky Derby?
Yes, funding for equal opportunity in sports. Teams for females if there was a funded boys team. I believe it also made it mandatory for females to be allowed access to the funded team in the case there is no female equivalent (usually comes up in football & baseball).
I donโt think itโs so much that if there is a menโs team they must have a womenโs team... but just total funding.
My son is a soccer player. He goes to the large state university. Since they spend such a large amount of money on their menโs football and basketball programs, and must fund womenโs sports equally... it means that something has to go so there isnโt any money to fund a menโs soccer team.
He had opportunities to play at some smaller D3 schools (but decided the state U was a better fit for him) and probably would not have made the state U D1 team even if it existed. But thatโs how it was explained to us by his soccer club college recruitment advisor... due to Title 9 requirements, some schools had to sacrifice their menโs soccer programs since football is far more popular and makes money, so thatโs where the bulk of the funding goes.
