Specifically, the court stated that the wrestlers failed to show that Title IX was the cause of men's  teams being dropped and that even if Title IX were altered, these teams would not be reinstated.  The court stated that Title IX's policies provide institutions with flexibility to decide how to structure their sports programs, and that many factors go into these decisions, in addition to equal opportunity principles. Dawn Riley, President of the Women's Sports Foundation stated, "This is absolutely the right decision.  It reflects the intent of the law, the fact that the public wants our sons and daughters to be treated fairly and equitably and it allows everyone to focus on moving forward to achieve the promise of Title IX.  The Women's Sports Foundation applauds the court's decision."  The court also noted that Title IX was enacted to rectify discrimination against women and girls and that it is a "landmark" civil rights statute.  Girls still receive 1.1 million fewer high school and 58,000 fewer college athletic participation opportunities and more than $133 million less in college athletic scholarships.

The National Women's Law Center wrote the amicus brief to which the Women's Sports Foundation signed on. The National Wrestling Coaches Association has sixty days to appeal to the D.C. Circuit.

However, for the moment, this decision removes any external rationale (i.e., avoidance of a lawsuit) for the Secretary of Education to take action to alter the Title IX compliance guidelines. The Foundation, along with other members of the Coalition for Women and Girls in Education, calls upon the Secretary to vigorously enforce Title IX and stop efforts to weaken the compliance policies and guidelines.

So for the past 2 to 3 quarters I spent long hours in the hot, thick-aired wrestling room conditioning non-stop with my female coach, Natalia. My parents told my coach to bring her in since they still did not want me to wrestle guys, especially after I passed out the first time I attempted to wrestle a guy.
