In Title IX of The Educational Amendments of 1972, it states:
"No person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activitiy recieving federal aid."
Because of this title, many male sports have suffered greatly. The one of interest for this webpage is wrestling. This is because wrestling programs throughout the country are being cut in order to comply with Title IX. The reasons for this shall be covered throughout the web page. This site is not in favor of abolishing Title IX. Women do deserve equality. However this website will show that there needs to be a different interpretation of Title IX. This website shall show the problems with the interpretations of Title IX and also propose solutions to the current interpretation. If something is not done soon to prevent Title IX from eliminating male sports, "With males projected to be only 41% of college students by 2009 it is clear that proportionality will mean that men will only have half as many NCAA teams as women- and that this will entail the elimination of anywhere from a third to hallf of NCAA male athletics."
