The NCAA just released a report on the effect of 45 years of Title IX, and it had a few interesting notes:
On average, an FBS school spends 60% of its athletics budget on football, 20% on men's basketball. and 20% on all other sports put together (hence, YAY FOOTBALL!!!).
Between 1988 and 2016, Division I schools have dropped an average of 11 3/4 men's sports teams per year. Gee, I wonder why? Note that, on average, Division II and III schools have increased the average number of men's sports per school in the same period.
The report talks a lot about expenses - but there's one word conspicuously missing: "revenue." It appears just once - when talking about the effect of "revenue-generating sports" in a discussion of dropped men's sports.
Speaking of expenses (and this one surprised me a little), of the Division I schools that don't play football (the so-called "Division I-AAA" schools), on average, 55% of the scholarship money per school goes to women.

That's because we're discriminating against women by making them

Yes - 55%. The same with FCS schools. On the other hand, at FBS schools, only 51% are women.

(As a comparison, it is 57% in Division II and 55% in Division III)
Note that 53% of all Division I athletes are men.

In reply to me NOTBCS said 55% of the undergrad population are women.
What's to complain about?

going to men.
In a similar vein, black people want reparations for slavery and
discrimination. I am sure they could get a lot of people to back those
if that meant there were no more complaints going forward.

Major football schools have more thn 80 players on the roster - no
other sport has that many. So comparisons between them and teams of
less than 20 athletes are are absurd.
Why should a school be required to field a team, men or women, when no
one is interested?
Who in AL follows b'ball, soccer or baseball? But they follow women's
softball and gymnastics. A few follow golf and track.
I'm not setting Bama as the standard but other schools could insert
their sports that attract no attention.
I think it's just another liberal SNAFU.
