The schools could schedule their games in double headers and only offer the games/contracts in a boys/girl double hearder. Not much way around that if an official wanted to work...if all schools did it.

Camron, they did that already. It was a disaster. There was a lawsuit that used Title IX that complained that the girl's were playing only on week nights and never the weekend like many boy's games were. So two major and big conferences did that and it was a joke. It was clear no one wanted to see the girl's play. One year they did the girl's games first and then flipped to the girl's playing the second game and it was stunning how little people would attend the girl's games or leave after the boy's game was over. So what they did was play the girl's games either earlier in the afternoon or play them separate and they would get a few more fans. And you still would have a problem; you might have officials that would say they want to work high school if that was the case. Or you will get people that will not give as good of an effort on the girl's games which I know people have done. I do not see that changing anytime soon because it would take a major cultural change. And I do not feel that any court would do that easily considering again that they would have to convince people to work games they are not obligated to.
