Including their strong men’s and women’s swimming teams.
Men’s tennis and gymnastics are the others.

Eliminating a sport for one gender and keeping it for another is awkward but pragmatic I guess. I would work hard to avoid it if I was in an Athletic Administration position.

Of course they did. It's not like they can have the swim teams walk to a beach on the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans to practice swimming.  |

Very difficult to avoid simply because Women's Football doesn't exist. So in order for any school with foobtall to provide equal gender opportunity, that school must also sponsor some women's sports without also sponsoring that corresponding men's aport. As mentioned in above posts, very commonly found in swimming, track and cross country. This is also why there are so many more schools with women lacrosse than men's lacrosse. |

Good point. And I suppose that because football is mostly scholarship in FBS and FCS it opens up scholarship opportunities for women in other sports. But I'm not clear if Title IX requires equitable scholarship dollars between the genders or just equitable roster spots.

Relatively equal scholarship dollars, although it doesn't have to be exactly equal. |
