[17] We conclude that the grant of summary judgment to
UCD cannot be affirmed on the alternative merits ground that
UCD complies with Title IX’s requirement of providing equal
athletic opportunities to students of both sexes.

    UCD’s review committee estimated that field hockey would add 22
female athletes; horse polo, 35; rugby, 30 to 40. Bowling would have
added 12 to 15.
2234 MANSOURIAN v. REGENTS OF UNIVERSITY    OF   CALIFORNIA
   The students also sue under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that
UCD violates the Equal Protection Clause by maintaining an
athletics program that discriminates on the basis of gender.
The district court dismissed the claim because it determined
that “Title IX’s enforcement scheme is sufficiently compre-
hensive to . . . demonstrate that Congress intended to preclude
§ 1983 claims when it enacted this statute.”
