To the contrary; by its very nature, Title IX applies to both men's and
women's athletics. If a school currently has gender equity - i.e., as
close as possible to X% of the varsity athletics opportunities being for
the gender that makes up X% of the school's population - then raising a
women's hockey team to varsity status would indeed violate Title IX unless
another women's team were eliminated or a men's team were added as well.
