One thing that needs mentioning though is Title IX does require equal opportunity in activities so a college must have equal activities for men and women. This added a lot of different sports on the women's side so they would be equal in number to the offerings for the men. No longer could they use budgeting as a reason not to offer these opportunities to women. From a societal perspective young women now had a lot more ways to pay for a college education which offered something tangible to justify all the work it takes to compete at that level. That resulted in more quality coaches joining the women's side of athletics which in turn yielded a more proficient player. Now young people, men and women, have way more resources available in private coaching and personal training that has impacted the quality of all athletic play. A true Win Win [/QUOTE]
