Title IX ruined a bunch of good non-r3evenue sports at many schools. NCSU used to have lacrosse, for example.

My family story: a kinswoman graduated from HS in 2001. She played on a TN HS soccer team that wa safely above .500. She started maybe 2/3rds of the time. She had more than a dozen colleges all D2 I think, offer her athletic scholarship, as well a s many D1 (non-athleic scholarship) schools begging her to take their need package to play soccer for them. She rejected al of them because she was tired of playing.

Title IX like so many things fails total any notice of who pays, as if it all just floats from the sky. So the right thing to do in comparing moneys spent on mens and women;s sports is to place them in category of either revenue or non-revenue. So, Syracuse football and men's basketball would be outside the compression and SU would be required to offer the same basic number of men's non revenue sports with the same basic number of scholarships as it offer to women's sports.
