<br/><br/> "This year [2002], men's track and field, like wrestling and gymnastics before it, has been caught in the vortex of a decades-long trend that has diminished the pool of certain participatory men's collegiate sports. Since the passage 30 years ago [1972] of the law commonly known as Title IX, more than 170 wrestling programs, 80 men's tennis teams, 70 men's gymnastics teams and 45 men's track teams have been eliminated." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article examines how, in the 30 years since the introduction of Title IX, women's college sports have grown tremendously and notes that the growth has been accompanied by the elimination of many low-profile men's sports.
