Title IX

Any experts in here? I'm sick of LSU not having a team.
The sport is growing and Title IX is no excuse to deny local players the chance to stay close to home.
Anyone know Joe Alleva? We need a movement.
SIAP (search function sucks)

I've been saying this for years. Title lX is outdated and no longer needed. All it does now is limit collegiate sports, where its intention was to expand them (60 years ago).
The talent pool in Louisiana has grown substantially in the last 10 years and I know guys that would have played for LSU had they had the opportunity. We aren't on the level of Florida or some other east coast powerhouse states, but we could field a highly competitive team.

Kentucky and South Carolina have figured it out...they just play footy in the C-USA.
It would have to be a SEC-sponsored sport for schools like LSU, Bama or Auburn for it to get picked up, I think.

I took the "History of Collegiate Athletics" class at LSU. If you can take it, do. It's a joke 4000 level history class for athletes.
In the class Joe Alleva came in for an "ask me anything" session. I asked him about Title IX and soccer. He seemed sympathetic but told me, in no uncertain terms, that there would never again be men's soccer in the SEC.
Also, Title IX killed a lot of wrestling programs, too.

Title IX overall has been good for sports in our country, but it needs to be reworked.
I think that sex independent sports should not count against scholarships. In the current system, wrestling, cross-country (frick me), soccer, and other non-revenue men's sports all get raped from Title IX.
