Brandon Focht- What to do about Title IX.

I believe that Title IX has become a quota for some schools. I think smaller schools who profit off of a particular sport such as Xavier for Men's basketball keep as many sports as they have to make sure they still profit off of their athletics. Xavier also does not have a football team, so they can put more money into their Men's basketball program, and have to comply less with Title IX because they do not have an abundance of scholarships to allocate to women's athletics as well. I think larger schools with a larger following in multiple sports such as Ohio State, Louisville, and Michigan do not see Title IX as a quota because they profit off of multiple sports. Title IX does hinder smaller schools with less following in my opinion because they cannot put more money into their programs, and if they have a football team it makes it even more difficult which is why Xavier benefits from not having a football team. I believe that football should be taken out of the equation for this purpose. With so many players on football teams it is difficult for smaller universities to profit if at all through their athletic programs. I also think that college football teams if they never do become separate should have to cut back on the number of scholarships, and players they have on their team to make it easier to comply with Title IX. A college football team does not need 75 players on their roster, when in the NFL teams I believe have 53 players on their rosters. If NFL teams can manage 53 players on a roster with injuries being more likely at the highest level of competition, NCAA football teams should have no problem having the same amount of players on their roster.
