Another discussion point of Title IX, is has it cost men opportunities, not women? The University of Northern Iowa is place you can make a case. With the University of Northern Iowa Athletic Department facing budget difficulties, the school decided they needed to cut a sport. The university decided they could not a women’s sport, because they would no longer being in accordance with Title IX. So, the university decided to drop the university’s baseball team. The university athletic director, Troy Dannen, did not even try to cover the fact the university was trying to stay in line with Title IX. “From a proportionality standpoint, we are really not even close. We were not going to look at a women’s program,” said Dannen. The University of Northern Iowa is not the only place where men’s sports have been cut, but not any women’s sports (Watson).
Rutgers University is another location where a men’s sport got dropped, but not a women’s sport. In 2006 Rutgers University dropped its men’s tennis team. By dropping their men’s tennis program, the athletic department saved $175,000. That same year though, the university spent $175,000 on hotel rooms for their football team. The kicker, $175,000 was spent hotel rooms for home football games (Five Myths about Title IX).
