LOL. You forgot the third option which most colleges have chosen to do....add more women's sports opportunities.
Without Title IX, you most likely would not be coaching even if you only coach boys teams, and you would most likely not be a DOC for a soccer club as you have claimed you are. Title IX created the growing market for female youth sports, the increased demand for youth soccer coaches and soccer clubs. With the expectation of the youth sports market to be $77.6 billion by 2026 and female participation calculated during the pandemic to be 45% of the youth sports participation, it is short sited by the author of this article to look at capitalism drivers only within the confines of the college setting, and it would be too limiting to only look at the professional sports market. The investment in female sports by the government through the passing of Title IX has certainly paid off and will continue to pay off. Given the following information, my guess is there would now be some significant money thrown in the pool by stake holders to ensure women's sports at the college and high school levels are appropriately represented. Just recently private investors ponied up $75 million into the WNBA.
In addition, without Title IX, there wouldn't be a USWNT that recently started generating more revenue than the USMNT.
Also, there were certain college men's sports that were added back after deletion during the pandemic because of Title IX noncompliance.
Having said that, I believe the calculations used to determine equality need to be revisited to add certain variables instead of one size fits all because I have seen a small amount of instances where the men are not equal to the women in the calculations.
