I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.

As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.

It's unfortunate. Title IX is rather simple: don't discriminate on the basis of sex.

Title IX, whether voluntarily or via court cases, opened gymnasiums to women, produced uniforms and schedules and buses.

College athletics are so entrenched and enjoyed by so many people that they will never be discontinued or substantially changed. I know that. I just pity the people caught in that tender trap. And most of all, I pity those kids.

And Title IX coming along there. I don't think Evan would have done any different than I did. I was fortunate to be there at a time when that was right.

I went to a comprehensive school and didn't go to university.

I wasn't going to play on defense in college.

Title IX came along and changed a lot of things for the better, but nevertheless, it meant that money became more important.

The caliber of play suffered and attendance declined year by year. Interest in college football was exploding, and there was this new game called basketball.
