RE: Bozzlife: Title IX and the Equity of Sports
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I finished High School and College before title IX so I may have a little perspective on before and after.
Before: Girls didn't play sports. The only sport a girl could letter in at my high school was tennis. In 1972 WSU had about 40 scholarship women and around 300 men and being in the PAC 8 they had more women's scholarships than the SEC or the Big 10.
Now, the scholarships and facilities are equal. It's just the right thing.
Has Title IX been abused from time to time? Of course it has, just like The Civil Rights Act. It's still a hell of a lot better than it was.

For sure, and great info. The equity in scholarships alone is definitely worth it. Quite honestly, the schools around here aren't that huge and it is going to be a one in a million shot for a DI school to come around recruiting. We see more of the benefits that don't garner all the publicity.
