Which will never happen. It's an entirely different discussion, but the court system (especially in Iowa) has always been slanted towards the mother.
kingcy, TarHeelHawk, and SouthernHawk: Very well formed arguments and statements. Props to all of you since I can't give out enough rep (my rep gun is out)
Yup, it is. However, the point is, you can't argue equality for one thing, but then find excuses why things shouldn't be equal in other aspects of life.
If you are truly for EVERYTHING equal, like Mr. Creightonclone is, then this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
Thanks...I don't really know a whole lot about Title XI other than that it was designed to level the playing field so to speak. When I see someone make a statement like "football programs don't make any money", I feel like that person doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.
That and I'm trying to get my credits past 1,900,000. :wink:
Don't be pissed at me, be pissed at yourself. You're the one who thinks Title IX is the devil. Title IX is good for women. I don't tell you how to think, it's your choice.
And we have a winner! I'd like to declare SouthernHawk, TarHeelHawk, and kinycy the winners in a hard fought battle. He can't even argue with you guys anymore and has to try to get this sent to the cave.
Please don't respond to this in relation to communism because the thread started with a good purpose.
Dude, enough with the schtick. It's getting old. We get it, you agree with Title IX.
$1,000 on you never saying this to any of us in person.
I actually found a picture of you....
I'm not the one who said I hate my daughers. Are you that ******* stupid. If my daughters are good enough to play college sports I will find a way that allows them to play college sports. Its the fact that FB is the reason they will get that chance, not Title IX. All Title IX is is a law that makes schools have an equal chance for males and females. Its FB that pays the way for them to get that chance. With or without Title IX I would bet my daughters would get that chance to play. Without FB there is no chance at all they would be able to play.
Where is the argument from a son's perspective. The college male athlete is the one who is struggling here.
Men swimmers, baseball players, tennis players, and soccer players have a much harder time than almost any woman's sport. And that is because of Title IX.

Exactly.
If a school offered six sports for men (baseball, track, xcounty, soccer, tennis and swimming) and six sports for women (softball, track, xcounty, soccer, tennis and swimming) and balanced the scholarships, everything is groovy.
But if that sport want's to add football to it's lineup and said, you know, we'll add women's volleyball and make it 7 & 7, (seems fair to me) they wouldn't be able to do it because of Title IX. They'd have to hack off about half of their men's sports to add football.
That's not "taking opportunities away" from women, it's in reality taking opportunities away from men.
This is part of the reason why you see a lessor number of professional Americans playing these sports, even in American leagues (like baseball for example). Our best male athletes are playing football and basketball these days because of this.
