Per the National Women’s Law Center one of these 3 prongs must be met for a school to be in compliance with Title IX:
To demonstrate that it offers equal opportunities for both male and female students to play sports, a school must show one of three things: (1) that the percentages of male and female athletes are about the same as the percentages of male and female students enrolled at the school; OR (2) that the school has a history and a continuing practice of expanding athletic opportunities for female students, since they usually have been the ones given fewer chances to play; OR (3) that even though it is not offering its female students substantially proportionate opportunities to play sports, the school is nonetheless fully meeting female athletes’ interests and abilities.
Western also has more female students than male students. I think Western definitely is in compliance with 2 and 3 so we are good.

Maybe it is just me but I am shocked they are doing that to the football program. We have talked over and over again about how football is the front porch for schools, esp in the south. They had just started to do well in football again

They had just started to do well in football again I agree and this guarantees that they will be at the bottom of the conference going forward. That’s almost half of the scholarships for an FCS team. I guess they have to do it because of Title IX. I was not aware that the number of scholarships by gender were based on the percentage of that particular gender at an individual school. I just thought that if you give 100 scholarships for men’s sports that you have to give 100 for women’s sports. It is by percentage of coeds at each individual school. I wonder how Title IX will handle situations where someone identifies as a gender other than was assigned to the person at birth. That is a thing now whether we agree or not. Lol.

I don't think it means a cut in scholarships for football, just a reduction of the overall numbers carried on the team. They had in excess of 100 players on the roster last season, and this should bring them down to around 80 on the roster for the upcoming season, so it will be walkons & preferred walkons that get the short straw.
