As a number of athletic departments prepare to cut some men’s teams to trim budgets, NCAA president Myles Brand has put out a call for schools to leave Title IX out of it<\/a>. He has pre-emptively asked schools with shrinking athletic programs to blame the economic downturn for their problems”and not the federal law that bans sex discrimination at schools and requires institutions to maintain a commitment to women’s sports, USA Today<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

“My expectation is that over the next year or two we are going to see more “cuts of men’s teams, Brand said this week in a telephone interview, “and so I am trying, frankly, to pre-empt the argument against Title IX, an unfair argument, I believe, and dissuade universities from going public with this approach.”<\/p>\n

Brand mentioned James Madison<\/strong> and Rutgers<\/strong> ,<\/strong> schools that cut teams in 2006-07, and Delaware<\/strong> ,<\/strong> where cuts have been discussed, as examples.<\/p>\n

“I think they need to be honest about it. Any cuts at this point in sports<\/a> are certainly going to be tied to financial pressures, “said Brand, who urged schools not to drop any teams, men’s or women’s.<\/p>\n

“I would suggest that athletics directors need to spend more smartly, “he said, suggesting cutting costs in travel<\/a>, facilities, and “expenditures in the highly visible sports.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
