In January of 2011, Delaware University announced that it was discontinuing its men’s wrestling, swimming, tennis, and gymnastics programs (Gottesdiener, 2011). Organizations like this are being diminished and discarded at an ever-increasing rate all across America. College and high school students competing in these athletic events are truly passionate about their chosen sport. In many cases, promising athletes are offered scholarships, initiating a symbiotic relationship between the student and the school they play for. In 1972, a new legislation was put forward with the intent of leveling the school-sponsored playing field. “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal funding” (What Is Title IX, 2014). This law is widely accepted as being an invaluable catalyst for the momentous success in female athletics today. Although Title IX has without a doubt been incredibly beneficial to female sports programs, it has not too recently been the source of some heavy speculation. With justifiable evidence, and passionate fervor, male athletes across America are declaring that Title IX is synonymous with injustice. Title IX was necessary in 1972, but it is now outdated and hindering male athletics. Two conflicting arguments, both with substantial claim, leave room for all but one solution. Title IX, although once

She states, “You cannot pay players without invoking Title IX” (578). This is important because that law prohibits discrimination which is very common. The majority of athletes are male, so asking compensation for collegiate athletes should cover both sexes in order to comply with the law. However, the author did not fully explain what Title IX is, presenting vague information which forces readers to have to find its meaning themselves. Therefore, this evidence is not sufficient because it did not provide enough information to be easily understood. There is no appropriate detail included about Title IX. However, this evidence is credible because it conforms with the American value that men and women should be treated equal. It suggests that there will be more players affected by any change in policy and this will make the readers think more about college athletes getting paid. This evidence is appropriate because it pushes for sexual equality even in sports and readers from all sexual preferences will be able to relate to
