During the time of Title IX’s creation women were trying to get equal rights and they fought vigorously to get their rights.Although they did not think of the aftershock that was going to happen afterwards, after that aftershock, both the women and men’s talents were wasted after a ton of sports fell off the map at colleges! YaleLawJournal.edu states that “Title IX is a rule to equal out the favoritism to men in sports at that time”. The controversy of Title IX is that some people really want it to be either loosened to let there be extra male scholarships,or tightened to, were that NCAA compliant schools who are caught in favoring men are punished,or leveling it out completely to where men and women have the correct amount of scholarships for each of their own sports. Overall men and women should have equal rights and get …show more content…
the correct amount of scholarships for their sports to fill out their rosters because, women have always fought hard to get equal rights, can perform just as well as men, and should still get the same amount of scholarships whether that be men get more and so do women or men getting the same amount as women.
Women have always fought very hard to get their equal rights and be equal to men, so of course they would also want to be able to play any sport a man could. Title IX was working perfectly at the time for women, so they could play any sport they could not play before. So anything they wanted to do before they could do now ,like wrestling, which opened up a girl’s or women’s division and co-ed across the nation. When everything was going smoothly they enhanced the rule to where women could have their own unparalleled. The problem with that is though they were creating the same problem they had except for men this time. In the span of Title IX to now multiple scholarships have been recalled due to Title IX compliance. In conclusion, of this paragraph the beginning had been going very well for both sides although it has been slowly falling apart and reversing the roles between women and men.
Women should be able to play all the sports men do in college that should not come at the cost of men’s scholarships be wasted. in 1972 Title IX passed but from then to now the universities with football teams like Indiana University and University of Michigan have been struggling with their scholarships because Title IX states that all NCAA compliant schools must have an equal women to men scholarship ratio. This makes it very hard for the universities because they have to have a lot of people for their football teams, usually about 55 people for the roster. Also more than four-hundred sports have been dropped to comply with Title IX! This happened because the ratio would be unbalanced so they had to drop the smaller sports and kept bigger ones like baseball,basketball,football and soccer. Overall Title IX has been wreaking havoc all over the schools in the NCAA trying to comply with Title IX and that is seriously messing with athletes.
Now some may say that Title IX must be either less or more constricting on our colleges, although everyone needs it to be equaled out.
Everyone needs this because it can solve both the problems we are currently facing with Title IX. It would solve the scholarship problem by allowing the schools to give out the appropriate amount needed for their sports. It will also keep solving the problem women are still facing with people being more lenient towards the male gender in the favor of sports. Overall Title IX needs neither to be more restricting nor less restricting it just needs to be equal.
Men and Women have had so much wasted talent in the past,present,and possibly the future let us make that change to where we all have equal sports rights. Overall men,women,boys,girls we should all be able to experience and play all the sports our civilization has to offer. We all need to be able to experience what it is like to be an athlete and be able to be a part of the family we call a team. No one needs to be discriminated because of genders it should be co-ed it would multiply the experience of all the sports we
play.
