Title IX

At one time I was a student athlete and it is kind of sad that I did not quite understand all of the issues that come along with Title XI.  Being female athlete I always thought there could be nothing wrong with Title XI and when they cut men's sports I just assumed there was a valid reason for doing so.  

It is unbelievable that many schools cut their men's teams due to the costs of the schools football team.  It is so unnecessary and unfair for those schools to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on their football teams when other teams are being cut.  It crazy how much they spend to stay in hotels on home games and if they would just eliminate that all teams could stay.  These schools and athletic directors need to realize that they are not just eliminating a sport they are messing with these athletes lives.  They worked their whole life to play in college and they take that away just so that there football team can stay in a fancy hotel for home games.  Something really needs to be implemented by NCAA to fix this.
