TitleIX is ripe for reform

Oklahoma has considerable growth potential. What percentage of its colleges & universities lack wrestling? I GUESS that it's at least 70%. Here's the overall list of colleges & universities in Oklahoma: https://www.okhighered.org/state-system/colleges-universities/list.shtml

Hopefully various college administrators in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and New Mexico (etc.) were in attendance and inspired to consider adding wrestling to their respective colleges & universities.

As in "nobody bought any, and nobody wanted to buy any" OR "tickets weren't available for the general public"?

No fans in attendance in Austin, Texas? https://www.collegian.psu.edu/sports/penn-state-wrestlings-showing-at-nwca-all-star-classic-suggests-need-for-midseason-tournament-opinion/article_48bc2808-6ae9-11ed-b342-6fe0bdf33dfa.html

I think I agree with everything that you just wrote, other than perhaps the part about how anti-discrimination requirements in education are here to stay in the absence of Congressional de-authorization. I'm not presently persuaded that the bar is that high to fixing the broken Title IX system and ridding it of discriminatory gender quotas. We could be just an election away from executive orders that can help considerably. Meanwhile, as you mentioned, there's the litigation route as well... As an encouraging sidenote, Chief Justice John Roberts is a former high school champion wrestler. I bet he cares about the issue now that college wrestling has lost so much ground. He wrestled in Indiana: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roberts Meanwhile a champion of textualism is now serving on the high court: Neil Gorsuch.

Here's a list of former NCAA & NJCAA teams in Texas where non-club wrestling teams presently do not exist: Institution / State / Lost Spots on Teams / Division: *North Texas State TX 27 NCAA Division I *Richland College TX 27 NCAA I *Southwest Texas State TX 27 NCAA I *Southwestern University TX 27 NCAA I *Texas A&M TX 27 NCAA I *Texas Christian University TX 27 NCAA I *Texas Tech TX 27 NCAA I *University of Texas TX 27 NCAA I *University of Texas at Arlington TX 27 NCAA I *University of Texas-El Paso TX 27 NCAA I *LeTourneau TX 27 NCAA III *Amarillo Community College TX 27 NJCAA *Eastfield Community College TX 27 NJCAA *Trinity Valley Community TX 27 NJCAA Meanwhile here's a list of dropped men's wrestling programs in Virginia: Eastern Mennonite Hampton Hampden Sydney James Madison Liberty Longwood University Lynchburg College Norfolk State Old Dominion University University of Richmond Virginia Commonwealth Virginia State William & Mary

As the fairly recent article linked below helps show (and as some self-enriching, overreaching D.C. bureaucrats do not want you to discover), the legal climate at least seems to have great potential to improve for athletic directors and college administrators (etc.) who want to support college wrestling, even if women do not want to participate in it. The U.S. Supreme Court (i.e. the "SCOTUS") recently began restoring interpretations of federal statutes [which Title IX, a noble but nowadays misinterpreted law, is] to what such laws actually say. It's called "textualism". This has already happened, in fact, because the U.S. Supreme Court has (correctly) ruled that major laws are for the legislative branch to make, not the executive one. Notice how Title IX does NOT say that there should be a gender quota which hurts men's sports teams (often without even helping women's programs)? Here's what Title IX, congressionally enacted in 1972, actually says: No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. Anyhow, here's the abovementioned article on recent constitutional breakthroughs at the U.S. Supreme Court (i.e. the “SCOTUS”): https://lawliberty.org/reclaiming-legislative-power-from-the-administrative-state That said, which colleges & universities you think will likely be the first to reinstate wrestling now that Title IX has indirectly already been vastly limited, pursuant to actual congressional intent instead of bureaucratic greed and overreach? Nevertheless, it seems wonderful having women's college wrestling grow and increasingly succeed. But when schools can't attract enough women to wrestle in sufficient quantities, should men's college wrestling have to remain in the cemetery? Fortunate when there's a men's team, it's easier to add a women's team later on. Without the former, it's seemingly much tougher to add the latter though.
