An Alternate Means of Compliance with Title IX?

[couch 'em]

Title IX should apply to intermurals and club sports, not to Div I scholarship sports. Scholarship sports are there for entertaining the student body and raising the prestige of the univeristy, not not allow participation BY the student body. That's what intermurals are for.

Two small points:

First, men can ride on the Equestrian Team and, second, intramural and club sports are not varsity and don't provide scholarship opportunities, i.e. don't meet criteria for Title IX.

Obviously. I'm saying that this is ridiculous and should be changed. Title IX is intended to provide fair and equal opportunity for students of a college to play college sports. But students don't have ANY opportunity to play college sports. Athletes are brought in to play the sport and are made students, they are not a student who got the change to play sports (except for a few women's teams that exist only to meet title IX). Athletes are more akin to university employees who get free tuition for working there.

STUDENTS have their chance to play sports through intermurals and club teams.

Unsolicited legal advice: get her permission first.

The fact is Title IX is prefers one group of human beings over others. Repeal immediately. And while we're at it, stop the idiots in Congress who are being paid off by the liquor distributors and are trying to prohibit wineries from shipping directly to out of state consumers.

Serioously? Should we repeal the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well? After all that was the source law.

I never realized that those two were so closely linked. You'd think that with that the case, you'd have to distribute athletic scholarships in proportion to the racial make up of your university.

Not sure Women's Bowling should be on the list.

Just sayin.

That act outlawed discrimination. Title IX is de facto discrimination.
