Title IX Impact

Title IX is an NCAA ruling that says there must be the same amount of extracurricular activities for females as there are for males. So basically if there is baseball, football, wrestling and basketball for guys there must also be 4 athletic programs for girls as well. This ruling is true to this day although men's sports brings in about 85% of the revenue from athletic programs. While it looks good on the surface, this program has caused problem and controversy for colleges. The main reason is because men's sports have had to be dropped from a college because not enough girls were interested in playing a sport. So if they had to take a girl's sport away, they also had to take away a men's sport as well. I think that this rule should apply unless the sports for girls aren't gaining enough participation. The college should then be able to drop the female's sport but still keep the men's sport. I don't think its fair that a college might drop girls volleyball because 3 girls are interested and then have to drop boys wrestling when there are 40 or 50 guys in the program.
