That's not quite how Title IX works though. You don't get to be in violation of it just because the corresponding women's team is OK with it. The school would be subject to federal sanctions if proven not to be in compliance.

I was simply responding to DSL’s post re: the plaintiffs ... not about how Title 9 works.

As to your point, you do get to be in violation of Title 9 if no one makes it an issue. The womens’ teams at W&M, the ones who made it an issue, will not make it an issue. And since no one has made it an issue for the past several decades in which the school was not in compliance ...

That’s why this is uncharted territory, as I said in my first post of the day. From a practical standpoint, as of 11/3/20, I don’t think Title 9 is a dealbreaker for reinstating the Tribe 4 as ... who’s going to complain. Another mens’ team?
