Another legal headache at Penn State: Title IX (Yahoo! Sports)

As Penn State tries to move past the scandal after Sandusky's trial, the devastating Freeh Report and unprecedented NCAA penalties, Title IX remains a potential long-term legal problem. The reason: Not only have Title IX lawsuits produced some of the most expensive judgments against universities in recent years, but the law allows for the possibility, however unlikely, that a university's access to all federal dollars could be cut off.
