They were said to be the first athletes to generate enough money to persuade a college to bring back their team and because they were able to with so much money, they were able to stay afloat for the following 11 years. This just shows that without money, you do not have anything as sustaining a college sports program. I know the statistics above suggest that it is not fair for men's coaches to make so much more than women's coaches, but if women could raise the money that men do then I am almost positive that women's salaries would increase as well as the number of sports opportunities for women.
One question that needs to be answered is who is being discriminated against, the men or the women. I feel it is the men being discriminating against the most but there is a share of arguments that support both parties; however, I feel that the men's arguments are much stronger than those of the women. Women argue that they only get 42 percent of the athletic opportunities and budgets while they make up 53 percent of the student enrollments at Division I colleges. I can understand how women might think that percentage is a little low but what I think they do not understand is that the amount of collegiate female varsity athletes has grown from about 32,000 to 150,000; so there has been a significant increase in women athletes over the last 30 years. On the flip side, men dispute that because they added so many women's programs over the last 30 years, they have been taking away too many of the men's opportunities. There has been a steady decrease in male athletes over the last 20 years. In the year 2001, there was an estimated 57,000 fewer male athletes than there had been 20 years prior. Gymnastics, swimming, and wrestling are the sports that are getting hit the most from Title IX. Do all these men not deserve the chance to get to play sports just because women need the chance to play too? Maybe so; however, do women still feel they have to complain about how Title IX has not been fully enforced as far as discrimination is concerned? I do not think so.
