Discussion: The data are relevant
to the debates over Title IX gender equity in athletics. Here we
see evidence of either gender discrimination against women in the
nation's high schools or evidence that women are less inclined to
participate in sports as they get older. If it is the first, the
data support efforts to more rigorously enforce Title IX at the high
school level; if the latter, it supports claims that College
gender-proportionality interpretations of Title IX are unfair to male
athletes.
