"If recruiting is unequal of course there are less women athletes because they haven't been recruited." Ewing said. The Brown case has set off various discussions among coaches who believe that their players should be more aware of Title IX rights and applications. Litle IX has become a growing national issue. "It's very important for them [the athletes] to understand the issue." Kleinfelder said. "We have failed as coaches. We know what it [title IX] is, but the athletes don't." "It's a Brown case, but it's nationwide issue," Hatton and "We can all be affected by these decisions." If the appeal is rejcted, the repercussions on women's athletic programs in all universities will be on siderable, coaches and students say. "It's blatantly clear that women's sports don't get as much funding as men's said Ewing "We feel it, we live it. "Ineaquality exists here and women athletes should be aware that they can do something about it," she added
