"Want to know just how bad this is? In 1972, the year Title IX was enacted, more than 90% of the head coaches of intercollegiate women's teams in all sports were women, according to the Women's Sports Foundation. "The wonderful growth in opportunities for girls and women to participate in sports since Title IX became law has led people to believe, mistakenly, that there have also been increased opportunities for women as coaches," said Judy Sweet, co-founder of the Alliance of Women Coaches. "Most people are incredulous when we share the current percentage of women coaches and the ongoing downward trend." Not one school of the 76 surveyed has a female head coach for every women's team. Cincinnati ranked best with 80% of its women's teams being led by women. Texas is next with 63.6%, with Miami and Penn State both at 60%. At the other end of the spectrum, Oklahoma State came in last at just 12.5%, followed by North Carolina State, Kentucky and Arkansas all at 16.7%. "

The only thing that I'll say is that if there were any women's coaches that were worth a damn, this school would have hired them. After all, the last three volleyball coaches--Kim Hall, Mary Byrne, Stubbs--took that team to new depths. The latter two coaches were Lee Fowler's messes. As for b-ball, it was quite clear that Kellie Harper was never the right fit from day one, so this group can just spare me.

"Across the U.S., the most popular women’s college sport is in the red. Women’s basketball at the 53 public schools in the six largest conferences recorded operating losses last fiscal year of $109.7 million, while the men’s teams had operating profits of $240 million, according to their financial records."

Title IX should be repealed. Socialism doesn't work in any facet of life and it certainly has not worked in sports.
