Line 5:
Line 5: − When a school needs to cut sports teams for budgetary reasons and cannot provide additional sports for girls, then prongs (2) and (3) of the test cannot be satisfied. In that case the school must meet the quota requirement of (1), thereby causing it to eliminate many more boys teams than girls teams in order to make the proportional representation. [[James Madison University]] recently did precisely that, cutting far more boys teams than girls teams in order to meet Title IX's requirement for access for both boys and girls. + Line 11:

In a typical situation, a school needs to cut sports teams for budgetary reasons and cannot provide additional sports for girls, whereby prongs (2) and (3) of the test cannot be satisfied. '''''In these common cases the school must meet the quota requirement of (1), thereby causing it to eliminate many more boys teams than girls teams in order to make the proportional representation'''''.

Proportionality tests can be said to be contrary to the principles of a [[meritocracy]], as they encourage promotion to sports teams based on gender, not ability. The result is a decline in quality since the best athletes are not given the platform to excel.
