The problem is that some are making the argument that, as applied to gays and lesbians, rules prohibiting players from dating other players and/or coaches is discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation which is a violation of Title IX.  This is the very reason that coach lost her job.  Texas A&M itself stated that the team rule against dating, as applied to lesbian players was a violation.

[I]USA Today obtained a memorandum written by Catherine Smock, the school’s special assistant to the president for compliance, that indicates that an investigation found that the players were kicked off the team because of their relationship and that they experienced discrimination over their sexual orientation. The memo states that the team rule violated Title IX and policy within the Texas A&M system[/I]

What we may end up seeing is that players and coaches cannot date other players and coaches if they are straight but they can if they are gay or lesbian.
