Read this passage about some of the effects of Title IX.

In 2007, the College Sports Council (now the American Sports Council) conducted a comprehensive analysis of NCAA data over 25 years (1981–2005), which revealed that, after controlling for the growth in the number of NCAA schools, the number of female athletes per school increased by 34 percent and the number of women's teams also increased by 34 percent. During the same time period, male athletes per school fell by 6 percent and men's teams by 17 percent.

The problem with Title IX isn't the law itself, which simply outlaws discrimination based on sex in academia, but how it's enforced. . . . [Colleges must show] that athletic participation for each gender is "substantially proportionate" to their respective enrollments.

. . . Women increasingly outnumber men on campus, earning an estimated 57 percent of bachelor's degrees. Colleges pursuing "proportionality" can try to increase the number of female athletes so that women account for 57 percent of athletes, or—the more surefire and less costly path—eliminate male athletes from the roster.
