The way to make the most money at any given moment is not necessarily the very best way to wring the most money out of the system. Like the increase of volume in trading on the stock market. We should build up women's sports as a growing market. We should be entrepreneurs. It isn't so often that we can be entrepreneurs in an area where we can also be making a good choice for our daughters and their daughters and their daughters' daughters. But the future will be better for all because of Title IX, even if a few mens' programs suffer in the present.
And if I am wrong, so what? We will have tried for a better future and lost out. But if you never try for a better future, then you will never have a better future. Just more of the same.

Women's athletics will never make money. It never has. The only way I would ever attend any kind of women's collegiate athletic event is if one of my daughters was participating.
In the stock market, a wise investor dumps the stocks that are decreasing his portfolio.
