The announcement concerning the news segment appeared on the CBS web page. It says the following:    "Title IX Controversy  (CBS) Sunday: December 1, 7 p.m. ET/PT   TITLE IX - This anti-discrimination law paved the way for a raft of women's collegiate sports. But 30 years after its passing, male athletes are suing to change the law because they say their programs are being dropped or trimmed to comply with it. Bob Simon reports."    60 Minutes has been researching the Title IX issue since the spring of 2002. Among those who were interviewed were NWCA president Mike Moyer, Univ. of Chicago wrestling coach Leo Kocher and former BYU wrestler Colin Robertson. 60 Minutes also came to Colorado Springs, Colo. to film wrestlers in training. Also interviewed for the piece were world-class gymnasts and other sports officials. There is no way to know if any of these people will appear on the final edited segment.    All those in the Olympics sports community are encouraged to watch the show, as well as ask their friends and acquaintances to view the segment.    60 Minutes, the CBS News magazine providing a blend of hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, began its 34th season in September and is the most successful broadcast in television history.     The program finished the 2000-01 season as the number-one rated news magazine. No other program has even approached this record. It is among many milestones for 60 Minutes.     60 Minutes was created in 1968 by Don Hewitt, still the program's executive producer, and premiered on CBS on Sept. 24 of that year. 60 Minutes has won 73 Emmy Awards - the most for any news program ever - and virtually every other major broadcast journalism award. It has also won nine Peabody Awards for exceptional television broadcasting.     According to Nielsen, nearly 16 million viewers tuned in to the broadcast each Sunday evening over the 2000-01 season, for an average rating of 11.2 with a 19 share.     The correspondents/co-editors of 60 Minutes are listed below in the order in which they joined the broadcast: Mike Wallace (1968), Morley Safer (1970), Ed Bradley (1981), Steve Kroft (1989) and Lesley Stahl (1991). Andy Rooney, the broadcast's correspondent and commentator, began his regular on-air segment, "A Few Minutes with Andy Rooney," in 1978. He had been a writer and producer for the program since its premiere.     Other high-profile journalists report for 60 Minutes: veteran CBS News foreign correspondent Bob Simon and Correspondent Carol Marin both ontribute, and through a unique agreement with CNN, CNN Chief International Correspondent Christiane Amanpour also provides reports.     60 Minutes airs Sundays at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
