28. So, your entire argument
is to accuse people who point out that you have the facts wrong of being intolerant and anti-man? As a point of logic, that isn't terribly impressive.

Now, as for your contention, yes, that does happen. But it is NOT the fault of title 9. It is the fault of the over sized and bloated athletic departments, particularly those that run big time men's basketball and football programs. The costs of those programs are enormous, and as has already been pointed out, in most schools they don't pay for themselves. Which means the money has to come from somewhere. Which means other places in the athletic department. All title 9 ensures in that situation is that the athletic department isn't allowed to gut women's sports completely. The problem is not title 9. The problem is the black hole that is our men's football and basketball programs at D-1 schools. Loosening the title 9 restrictions would simply mean the good ol' boy network would be allowed to do what they always did in the past; gut women's sports.
