Personally, I am pissed that Iowa cut the programs it cut. Having said that most of the programs that got got were Mens teams (Mens Swimming and Diving, Women's Swimming and Diving, Men's Tennis, and Men's Gymnastics). So "women's programs" did not get cut, a single women's program got cut and, as you pointed out, because of Title 9 they may be reinstated. The problem alleged in the lawsuit (which merely requires a $195 filing fee) was that by cutting the Women's Swimming Program, the number of male athletes outnumbered the number of women's athletes (conceptually that doesn't make sense to me, because you would think that, at least, the two swimming teams would cancel each other out, but I will admit that I do not have the numbers to question the Women's Swimming Program's case. Even still, I hope they win).
Moreover, ISU has 16 varsity sports. Iowa will have 21 after this year (assuming the Women's Swimming and Diving team wins their case). So it really is not apples and oranges. Jaime does not have to worry about having to cut the Men's Swimming team, Men's Tennis team, and Men's Gymnastics, because those programs do not exist in the first place. That is not a dig at ISU. The point is just that their athletic department is much smaller (and still is) and therefore they do not have the same overhead.
