That title 9 thing is horrible. I remember when boston college was forced to axe their wrestling program. They advertised in student papers and tried like the dickens to field women's sports teams--and couldn't. There were not enough female students interested in sports, other than those already being offered, to build programs. Meanwhile, college boys who had wrestled since the age of 5 and who had gone to the school in large part because of their desire to participate on the team, were suddenly told "beat it, we're gonna have a women's rugby team whether they want one or not!"
Women's sports--great thing
title 9--political tool that has done great harm
