[quote=Anonymous]Title IX has many aspects, but if a college spends money on football and has 130 on the team, the college needs to match opportunities and amenities for women athletes.  That’s 130 women athletes right there.

Michigan State during COVID decided to cut swimming as a varsity sport.  Both men’s and women’s teams were cut.  There were 6 more women than men.  The college made the cut because it did not want to spend money to renovate the swimming pool to competition standards.  The women’s team members sued alleging title ix violations.

The college won at the trial court level, but lost at the court of appeals.  The appellate court determined that the trial court used the wrong standard of review.  The appellate court looked at the college’s total numbers and found several violations, but a big one was that the difference in total numbers, men v women, was 18 (out of about 1000 athletes), and that number was big enough for another team.  So - the college has to form another women’s team.

The restructuring of what are now the Power 4 conferences, and the effect of money being paid by the schools - all have to comply with Title IX.
