Title IX is a federal law--it is not something mandated by the NCAA. And the text of this federal law, Title IX, says it does not apply to the service academies. That doesn't mean the academies or their voluntary associations cannot voluntarily invest in women's sports to the level that Title IX would require if applicable. Remember also that the academies are subject to political oversight, and gender equity is something considered in the oversight process.Title IX rules apply just as any NCAA rules apply for recruited athletes, etc.

One thing that is obvious as you explore West Point - male or female, money is spent lavishly for facilities and support of both NCAA Varsity squads as well as club sports. That doesnt even cover the massive intramural sports.
