29. Title IX is already inherently flawed in execution

I found out a couple months ago that in order to comply with current rules, schools can game the system in a few ways that completely undermine the intent of providing equal opportunity to women in sports.

Many colleges add dozens and dozens of extra female athletes on teams in sports like rowing that never are able to participate in actual rowing competitions because they don't need anywhere near those number of athletes. They will put 50 plus on a rowing team even though only a select few ever get to travel to rowing competitions. As long as they are "on the team" they count towards Title IX numbers even though they never get the opportunity to ever compete.

Then in something that seems ridiculous. a dozen or more men are typically added to women's basketball rosters to serve as a practice squad for training purposes. Amazingly, they are then able to be officially counted as women for purposes of Title IX compliance.
