Opposition

"The original intent of Title IX was to equalize participation in sports. What it did was to eliminate opportunities for thousands of athletes...Title IX would have eliminated several opportunities and achievements had it been in force while my sons were growing up." 
-Alain Murry, "Title Ix's Bad Effect", Chicago Tribune, February 5, 1995.
"...I think you still have some protection, but certainly not the blanket protection that has resulted in...reverse discrimination for men's programs."  
-Kevin Barnett, "Title Ix's Impact", Game Changer's Live, February 8,2012
