Title IX states: &#8220;No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How these words are interpreted has led to much debate.<\/p>\n<p>And while Title IX is in the news perhaps more for sports over the years than anything else, it is not a specific sports issue. It is an equality in education issue and can range from the amount of sports teams at an education institution to whether male and female students are treated differently in any sort of educational situation, including classroom opportunities and even equality within investigations and discipline.<\/p>\n<p>While much of the details of Title IX are not common knowledge, the spirit of the issue is common knowledge, especially when regarding sports.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to Title IX in swimming, there were no college opportunities for female swimmers, so many of the best swimmers in the world competed at the Olympics and faded into obscurity. Had they been around after the decision, they could have earned college scholarships and swam at the college level, keeping their names in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>There were some college sports for women prior to 1972, but no scholarships for female athletes or championship seasons for women\u2019s sports. That year 30,000 women played sports without scholarships, while there were a total of 170,000 men\u2019s college athletes that year, many of whom earned scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>And it wasn\u2019t just teams. Everything stemmed from Title IX from equality of facilities, coaching, practice, travel, equipment, recruitment \u2014\u00a0every aspect of sports.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Since Title IX, the number of female high school athletes has risen from 295,000 to more than 2.6 million and the number of female college athletes has risen from 30,000 to more than 150,000 as 40% of scholarships by rule had to go to female athletes.<\/p>\n<p>But the fight for gender equality is far from over as we have seen across the sports scope just in the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Women\u2019s Soccer Team has fought for equal pay with the men\u2019s national team and the rise of transgender athletes have added a whole <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/as-title-ix-turns-50-changes-likely-on-the-horizon-for-landmark-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new list of questions<\/a> about what constitutes gender equality in sports.<\/p>\n<p>In swimming specifically, smaller men\u2019s programs have been cut to allocate those resources to women\u2019s sports to keep with the 40% quota, which many have argued isn\u2019t fair, either. But like many aspects of sports and life, it comes down to money, adding another layer to the fight.<\/p>\n<p>While there are still things to be improved, the fight for equality continues to move forward. Fifty years ago, it finally got its start \u2014 and changed the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title IX Day: A Revolution Continues the Gender Equity Fight A half century ago, one of the most groundbreaking moments in the history of sports changed the world forever when<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3915,"featured_media":388153,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122077,7],"tags":[67114],"class_list":["post-507355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-americas","category-usa","tag-title-ix"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Title IX Day: A Revolution Continues the Gender Equity Fight<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title IX at 50: A Half-Century Revolution Continues the Gender Equity Fight.
