Title 9 is good in the acidemic world but in the world of sports it is the most unfair thing around. Title IX is being misrepresented and is killing male sports at the college level (i.e. baseball, wrestling, swimming and diving, gymnastics, track and golf). Even after 91 years, Boston University cut its football program, the University of California Los Angeles 16 gold medals later dropped its swimming and diving program, and there are only 26 men's gymnastics teams across the country. At this time, the NCAA has about 7,800 sports programs for men and about 8,300 for women, with 19 NCAA sports for men and 26 for women, including eight "emerging sports" for women (rowing, Water Polo, equestrian, synchronized swimming, bowling, archery, Ice Hockey and precision skating). How is this equal opportunity when there are 500 more athletic programs for women than for men with seven more sports to choose from?
