Once the law was enacted, many universities were forced to tighten their belts and take money from other vital part of their budget in order to make ends meet.

(Title IX), is a Federal statute that was created to prohibit sex discrimination in education programs that receive Federal financial assistance.

Wondering why there's less room for non-revenue men's sports? Check the sidelines at a college football game.

Put simply, scholarship limits protect and promote revenue sports. The NCAA allows individual schools to fund specific men's sports only to the degree that those sports make money nationally.

The NCAA admits that, for some time now, its scholarship rules have been geared toward generating money.

The truth is, it will never be possible for the NCAA to allot scholarships efficiently with top-down edicts. Over time, some sports will surge in popularity while others will fade, and any bureaucracy as centralized as the NCAA will struggle to keep up.

Instead, the NCAA could aid both women's and men's sports with one simple move: cast off these sport-specific scholarship limits and let schools decide for themselves how best to allocate their resources.

Different schools have different cultures and traditions, so why should the NCAA impose the same model on everyone?

The silent enemy of men's sports

2. Title IX does not apply to female students only

They cannot accept the simple observation that men and women, given their different endowments, also have different preferences. Women are more likely to do ballet and dance than men, and no one thinks that this commendable preference indicates a fatal imbalance in our social order.

The administrative interpretation of Title IX works to demand a parity in levels of participation by sex, which means that either many female athletes have to be added or many male athletes have to be cut out

“Twenty-three years ago, there was 107 men's gymnastic teams in this nation,” says Lewis. Now there are 20 teams left.

“I pray that I'm going to have girls because that's the only way they're going have an opportunity to do any college athletics,”

“Instead of adding a new women's sport, they dropped ours,”

Gymnast Steve McCain was ranked number 3 in the nation and was training for the Olympics at UCLA when the school announced in 1994 that it was dropping its men's gymnastics team - a team that had produced a steady stream of Olympians.

Some of the men who are being dropped from college sports are champions.

He says the number of men’s teams are dwindling because colleges are dropping what are called the minor men's sports, the ones that don't draw crowds or make money, and investing more and more in just one sport - football.

That means that if half the student body is female, half the athletes should be as well. So if a college has too many male athletes, it can do one of two things. It can either add more women's teams – which often require a lot of money. Or cut back on the number of men.

  The 2012 olympics is said to be the Title IX olympics because this year, the USA sent more women than men to the olympics.

When girls get more funding for their sports, the money has to come from some where. Because football is the sport that brings in the most money for high school, the money going to women's sports usually comes from men's high school and college golf, volleyball, swimming, and soccer programs.

. Rice college doesn't have a varsity men's swimming, soccer, or volleyball team. These are sports offered to women, but not men. Some say this is a direct effect of Title IX. 

Now 48% of the athletic scholarships are given to women. They get about 40% of the athletics money even though they make up roughly 53% of the students in college.
