I was a field hockey player in high school. My boyfriend was a star on the wrestling team. We both felt that we had the skill to compete at the college level. We chose a school we could both attend and play our sport. But Title IX intervened. My boyfriend's wrestling team was eliminated to comply with Title IX. My boyfriend's dream was elimanated. I did not want to see his dream die so a women's field hockey could exist. Maybe it is time to revisit the implementation of Title IX now that we have had a chance to see its consequences.
