I'm going to rant for a minute.

Title IX is not bullshit. The execution by schools of Title IX is bullshit.

Title IX was never intended to destroy opportunities for men. These moron AD's out there that cut programs are to blame. Maybe it's because they are lazy or stupid or they just don't care. The last thing Title IX was intended for was to remove opportunities for any student athletes.

Any AD worth a darn would find a way. Ask for support, money, help, ect... Before programs get cut.

Chicken shit moves like Lisa Love pulled with announcing the cuts without giving any of the sports a chance to stay is what is ruining D1 sports.

We are dealing with a precedent that needs to be stopped. If this program gets saved and endowed, what is going to stop some other weak minded/willed AD at another school from following the same playbook. It's a slippery slope for sure. Does Title IX need reformed? Yes it does. It's not the problem it is the excuse that used.

Eliminating programs is the path of least resistance. It takes very little work on an AD's part to kill a program it takes a hell of a lot of work to keep all of the sports afloat.
