However, as a matter of policy choice, we force schools to cut men’s soccer opportunities at the secondary and college levels. That policy choice is called Title IX. Even though we have a non-trivial number of boys who play soccer before high school, and there is a bigger market for spectators to watch men’s soccer than women’s soccer, Title IX makes men’s soccer too expensive for schools to fully develop. To the original authors of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the answer is obvious. Were we to go back to the original Title IX intent, men’s soccer would get a game-changing boost at the high school and college level, and we’d be able to hang with the likes of Spain and Argentina.
