MORE TROUBLES FOR MIZZOU: Mizzou Women’s Softball Team Says Title IX Is Killing the Sport: University of Missouri administrators forced the team to accept weak players, for equality. “Female athletes essentially claim that university administrators, citing Title IX, have forced the team to bring on under-qualified players. This has in turn reduced the amount of game time enjoyed by more skilled players. Why is Title IX the culprit? Administrators don’t want the federal government to accuse Mizzou of violating federal law, so they have to make sure the softball team is big enough. They don’t want it to look like the school is giving more support to the boys’ team than the girls’ team.”
