I think most of us on this forum are better officials than attorneys. Title IX has become one of those sacrosanct issues to which nobody will ever agree. I, for one, believe that the boys and girls should play the same season, and I believe that they should get equal time, but I also believe that no one should complain about possible Title IX violations simply because the varsity girls have to play before the varsity boys. That was never the intention of the law. And yes, I know some high schools play their girls in the "prime time" spot because they are more successful and they draw better attendance, and I fully support that as well. Just wanted to clarify that since some posters seemed to take a sensitive position to my earlier remarks.
