I am assuming a title 9 is some sort of incentive program to get instituations to develop women's sport programs..
If after thirty years the program hasn't already created it's own market of people interested in watching and sponsoring women's sport then it sounds like it isn't ever going to be a self supporting model.
That's interesting what you say about Olympic sports Voo... If you are right and USA is slipping backward in elite sports then I bet this becomes a big issue in 2004... I can't see American's sitting back and watching the Chinese gloating.. the propoganda coup could even be enough to give them confidence to start a fight with Taiwan.. (r-n.. I sound like a doomsday merchant eh?!)
The Chinese will consider beating the US team in Beijing as something of vital importance.. I bet their sports programs are ramped up 100's of times more than usual too..
