 In the 1984 ruling of "Grove City v Bell", the Supreme Court stated that Title IX did not apply to sports, except in the case of scholarship opportunities.This ruling was reversed by the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, which required equality in federal funding for sports.Still, opponents of Title IX did not give up, and the National Wrestling Association, the College Gymnastics Association, and the US Track Coaches Association, representing male sports, filed suit against Title IX, saying that the regulations were unconstitutional.
