title IX is bullshit we all know this... I really dont see how courts can allow this kind of quota system to stay in place. Remember that schools used to have quotas for affirmative action programs too allocating a certain number of slots to people of color until it wound up in court and was ruled unconstitutional.

What you have here is basically the same principal but its even worse because not only are you imposing an artificial quota but sometimes there arent even enough interested women to fill it (since women on a whole are less interested in sports then men.)

Title IX destroys opportunities for thousands of men. I'm all for giving girls the opportunity to play sports but if they dont have the same kind of interest level that men do then why should they get the same number of spots?
