"Thanks to Title IX, more than 350 NCAA programs involving nearly 21,000 male athletes have been terminated since 1991" (Golab 46). Does this seem unfair to anyone else? With all of these cuts from male athletics, only 5,800 athletic opportunities have been added for women in the same time period. This astonishing fact alone should say that there is something wrong with the way Title IX is being enforced. Proportionality makes it necessary for there to be an equal percentage of female athletes to percentage of females in the student body. Even when a team is self-supporting, receiving only minimum funds from the school, it needs to be removed because having the team creates a percentage gap. Exactly this happened at Marquette University. Andy Berglund, a staff writer for The Wrestling Mall, tells the story well: In the early 90's Marquette was going to eliminate the wrestling team to open funds for a new women's soccer team. Rather than being eliminated, the team started to raise its own money, between $60,000 and $100,000 every year. So even when this team is in no way hurting the advancement of women athletes, it needs to be removed to fulfill a quota-which happened at Marquette in the summer of 2001. This cannot be the original intent of Title IX. Not only does proportionality lead to the elimination of whole teams, but it also leads to placing caps on team size. It limits not only scholarship athletes, but also walk-ons, who come out purely for the love of the game. Again, these athletes are of little cost to the university, but to meet the quota requirements, they must be denied the ability to participate. .
Proportionality has come to the point where it is now encouraging reverse discrimination, which is discrimination against men. Proportionality discriminates against male athletes in more ways than one. First of all, if telling males to clean out their locker simply because they"re male and the institute has too many of them isn't discrimination what is? Second, there are already more opportunities for female athletes than male athletes.
