I personally am not a big fan of title IX. Men's college gymnastics is almost extinct, and the blame rests largely on title IX. Because men's gymnastics is an expensive sport and recieves far less publicity for the college than sports like football or basketball, men's college gymnastics teams have been dropped left and right in order to comply with the equal funding tenet of title IX.

I'm all in favor of equal opportunity, but title IX is seriously flawed, and needs to be amended if not thrown out entirely.
