TITLE IX ERRORS: Universities could be unfairly targeted as discriminating against women athletes because of wild inaccuracies in federal data on their sports spending, according to the Columbus Dispatch. An online database of the spending shows that Indiana University, for example, spent $7.6 million on game-day travel, meals and other expenses for its men's football team in 2001 - triple the costs of any other Big Ten school.

University officials told the Dispatch the true figure was less than $1 million. The numbers are supposed to indicate if a school is complying with the federal Title IX law that guarantees women equal access to sports.
