		<description>Bah. One of my nieces, now a college sophomore, played high school volleyball &#038; basketball for a spell. Even with Title IX, they seemed to have fewer resources than the boys' teams. I hate to imagine what effect this latest bureaucratic atrocity will have on budgets for girls' sports. 

I'm sure this new red-tape-hoop-to-be-jumped-through will achieve the desired effect of screwing a few small school districts (who don't have full-time attorneys or compliance officers overseeing their athletic programs) out of federal funding, or something equally distasteful.  

In addition to the obvious sexism, which you have succintly addressed in your post, this is another fine example of an Administration that talks "smaller government" but ends up creating more useless paperwork, while also spending like the proverbial drunken sailors on everything *but* education. 

To paraphrase the old bumper sticker, what if schools got all the money they needed, and the Defense Dept. had to hold car washes &#038; bake sales to fund their crazy, non-functional missile defense system?   

I repeat: Bah.
