The main effect of the increase in women's hockey on Title IX will be
that the schools who add it will be closer to compliance, but probably
still not there. I believe it was said last year that in D-I*, only Army and
Air Force are currently in compliance, and that is largely because their
male-female ratio is skewed towards males.
 
Until schools start playing women's football, compliance will be
extremely difficult.
 
See you later,
