<p>Many male sports teams are cut due to Title IX and the only way to get around this is to cancel football, which most schools won’t do. It is outrageous to have to cut male cross country and track teams due to Title IX. Other schools have had to cut such healthy sports such as men’s swimming due to Title IX. It is hard to believe that the courts intended their decision to impede men from doing certain sports, but this is what happened.</p>
<p>I think that schools with male football teams should start female football teams and be able to count these as slots, whether used or not, to be able to then bolster up the men’s sports. It’s just shamful to cut track and field sports. And football isn’t going away at most schools, just at Swarthmore!</p>
