Title IX applies to "any education program or activity." If football programs are employers and not educators, would they be exempt from Title IX? And how many women's crew slots would be cut in the first year following that ruling?

    It does seem like you ought not to have it both ways: either football programs are employers which should be accountable to the appropriate employment laws, OR they are education programs which are subject to Title IX.
    Very good question. And as with most things in our society, it'll probably be resolved eventually in a court room.

    Can this be the new mascot for Maryland?

    Bonus points if you get the reference.

    Well, midnight came and passed. There was no major scandal nor rescinding of the invitation by the Big Ten. Maryland and Rutgers are now in the Big Ten.

    That's the spirit!! Money before competition. You've embraced the modern NCAA.

    Right now, you could probably pay someone in front of Emmert and nothing would change.They're a little busy.

    They say they wanted Rutgers for NYC. They're not even that well liked there. Syracuse is more of a presence in that area than Rutgers.

Can anyone give an example of a cartel that does good things? Selling drugs and manipulating oil prices do not qualify.
