There are more important things than making the most money for sports. I don't think equality of opportunity is such a bad value to have, especially if it makes fit looking women the norm and solves some of the obesity in our nation's women. Plus when these women become mothers, they can teach their daughters to play less with dolls and play more with balls, so title IX will become less important and less costly. And finally, girl sports are fun to watch, just as much as boy sports. But as a nation we need to learn more about them, so title IX makes us learn that. And if title IX is a mistake, at least it is a mistake with the best intentions. We all make mistakes. I rather make this kind of mistake then a greedy mistake.
It may surprise you, but women's athletics are nothing but a financial black hole. This is an article from 5 years ago, but it proves just that:
