JRut, I may not have made my point clear. I do NOT think this is a Title IX issue, in fact for the same reasons you stated. What I was saying that Title IX is for those schools who take federal aid. Once you do that, you are obligated to follow any and all federal regulations.
You mentioned the case where seasons were changed. Here in VA we went from "Fall Ball" for the girls to running the seasons at the same time. If you were basing the OFFICIATING aspect of it you would say this is a bad move for the girls side as you have a more diluted 'talent' base from which to draw officials from. Whereas, in "Fall Ball" more "A" rated officials would be available to work their games. However, this was about equity in seasons/recruiting and not officiating. Attendance figures are/were not used to decide the equity merit of these cases.
