“Colleges and universities have tried to defend their decisions to cut men’s athletic programs by claiming that Title IX requires gender equity. Actually, neither the Title IX statute nor its regulations require such a thing. But the OCR has issued an interpretation of compliance stating that a school may demonstrate compliance with Title IX if the school can show that the gender breakdown in the athletic department mirrors the gender breakdown of full-time undergraduate students. This provision— the proportionality test—is known as prong one of the three-prong test. The other two prongs—showing a history of expansion of women’s sports or showing that all student interest has been accommodated—have no measureable ways to demonstrate compliance, and thus are simply holding patterns until prong one is met. Proportionality is the only quantitative measure in the three-prong test, and thus the only assurance to schools that they are safe from Title IX-related lawsuits.”

“Unfortunately, as long as government is involved, college sports will continue to revolve around political, rather than athletic, contests, and only the most politically skilled will win. Until now, that's been supporters of Title IX, who have succeeded in persuading policymakers to require that colleges accommodate a demand for women's athletics opportunities that can't even be shown to exist. It's a game Title IX supporters have liked because the referee -- the government -- has usually been on their side.

But real fairness requires a neutral referee, which political solutions simply can’t provide. Take the government out of the game, however, and colleges and students -- not politicians -- will decide the winner. In other words, abolish Title IX, and let supply and demand take over the referee job.

In such a system women will almost always control the ball. They can choose the schools that offer what they want -- athletic opportunities, artistic outlets, good academics, or anything else -- and can run past those that don't.”
