Sorry, don't buy that for a minute. It may be an excuse, but a poor one that was NEVER raised by MS at ASA's convention when asked.
Title IX would only addresses what is provided for the teams and players. Since the HS do not provide the boys with footwear, they need not provide the girls with footwear, OF ANY TYPE.
This is just more Chicken Little reasoning, but like the schools use to dump men's sports while citing Title IX. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with Title IX, but has a lot to do with the school showing its lack of student-athlete support. Title IX is intentionally misread by those looking for a way to expedite their agendas.
It is a sad statement of the manner in which we face life and problems.
