I noticed that the referendum did have a lot of additional incentives in it to entice students to vote:
Women's swimming & diving
Marching bands
addition of a spirit program

Finally, it seems to only apply to incoming students who obviously did not get to vote.
"The increase will start in Fall 2022 and affect only incoming students and students outside of UTRGV’s Guarantees Tuition ad Fees program, the University wrote in a news release."
Cleverly done.

Even though I think this is a major mistake, I do hope UTRGV succeeds.

Why do you think this will impact Men's Soccer?

Title IX

Women's swimming & diving
Marching bands (coed?)
addition of a spirit program

That's probably enough to meet Title IX
