We can get into a whole discussion about this--but, basically, the schools say sports exist on campus to develop leadership and teamwork skills.
Now that's funny. Did someone forget to give that memo to Jerry Tarkanian at UNLV? Or Bobby Bowden at Florida State?
Sluggers, I'm just being a smart a$$.. I know what you're saying. To me it's funny how schools still try to give the illusion that sports are not about the money. When it's entirely about the money. The proof is called: BCS. ha ha
I don't pretend to know what Title IX actually says about any specifics. I do know that if that girl can play football, then I should be allowed to play softball. In the other examples listed by MTR, if those schools do not offer golf, bowling, or track for boys, and the boys were not allowed to try out, then I'll bet there would be a lawsuit by one boy's parents. Now, if males were offered golf, bowling and track... and the boys STILL wanted to play on the girls team... I would have serious issue with that.
