Is Title IX A Burdon to the NCAA?

When Richard Nixon signed Title Nine, it was suppose to civil rights law stopping gender discrimination in education, however it has become most famous for creating more opportunities for women in the NCAA. Recently Title Nine has had many opposing views as it has caused men’s sports to suffer. (Although the graph above from 2005 would disagree) Many schools have had to forfeit their football teams to make way for a women’s sport. AND why is this being allowed to happen???? I am not trying to sound like a male chauvinist. I honestly believe that female athletes CAN do what the men do (except dunk a basketball). However, lets not ignore the facts, not one women’s basketball team made profit in the 2010-2011 season. So who supports the women’s basketball programs....the Men’s team. Which means the women’s programs are costing the athletic department, at each school, hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes even millions. At Auburn for example, where the coaches salaries totaled 1.1 million dollars but the total revenue was just $64,000. Even the Tennessee Volunteers, the most legendary of all women’s basketball teams, didn’t make a single penny. I couldn’t find the average attendance foe UT but the Lady Vols weren’t packing Thompson Bowling Arena by any means.
Now, I know what you are thinking, the UCONN Huskies had to generate some profit in recent years with their infamous and unreal winning streak. Well, to blunt about it…no they did not. In 2010-2011 the UCONN Lady Huskies generated negative dollars in direct revenue, however thanks to Athletic fundraising, they did make it profitable. (Close to a million dollars in fact.)
In 2010, men’s volleyball brought in more money that all women’s sports combined (excluding basketball and softball).
Now, I am not trying to say that Universities should do away with women’s sports, because it would just simply not be fair that males could receive full-ride scholarships for athletics and females could not. However, what I am saying is that title nine should be revoked. What it does is not allow the University of having more men’s teams then women’s teams. Which is why here at MSU we do not have a men’s soccer team. As much as I DO enjoy watching the women’s soccer team here, I believe a men’s team would generate a lot of interest. This same problem, is occurring all over the NCAA, which is why Title Nine should go. I believe that the secondary sports programs should support themselves and all revenue made by the Men’s basketball team and football team should stay with those two teams. Because quite frankly, as a UK fan, I would much rather see our football team get better than our Men’s rifle team.
