Title IX will soon be irrelevant b/c athletes are going to get revenue shares and there will be employment contracts which will help stop so many transfers. Employment contracts will also cut Title IX out. So, all the non-revenue sports can kiss off.

Title IX is a big part of the problem that lead us to where we are. In typical, ham fisted fashion bureaucrats found a solution to a problem which did not exist, namely women's sports not being on equal footing with men's. That is fine in tennis and golf, I imagine but it is beyond ridiculous when football for the most part, and to a lesser extent basketball and an even lesser extent baseball, pays for EVERYTHING. It is not by mistake that all of the people playing these sports is a male and a good many of them are black. It has been a bad look from day one for a black athlete to be putting the work in needed to play football at USC, for example, and revenue from that work being used to pay for a female equestrian team. It was especially bad when that same athlete played 4 years, received or did not receive a degree and was homeless or dead a few years after generating millions of dollars for gymnastics. White or black, tragic either way, but especially bad look when it was a black man in the world we live in today. They should have been paid for years...and paid according to their ability and the amount of revenue they drove, just like any other employee. The lure of free money for the University to lure more and more students and donations from boosters was to enticing to do what was right and here we are. It is not sustainable and it is, at the end of the day, a horrible look. 100 years from now it will be viewed worse than the worse accusations which have been flung at it recently.
