Download or read book Changing the Playbook written by Howard P Chudacoff and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Changing the Playbook, Howard P. Chudacoff delves into the background and what-ifs surrounding seven defining moments that redefined college sports. These changes involved fundamental issues--race and gender, profit and power--that reflected societal tensions and, in many cases, remain pertinent today: the failed 1950 effort to pass a Sanity Code regulating payments to football players; the thorny racial integration of university sports programs; the boom in television money; the 1984 Supreme Court decision that settled who could control skyrocketing media revenues; Title IX's transformation of women's athletics; the cheating, eligibility, and recruitment scandals that tarnished college sports in the 1980s and 1990s; the ongoing controversy over paying student athletes a share of the enormous moneys harvested by schools and athletic departments. A thought-provoking journey into the whos and whys of college sports history, Changing the Playbook reveals how the turning points of yesterday and today will impact tomorrow."

Book excerpt: Changing the Game is set at a fictional university in the mid-1990s. A debate over the role of athletics quickly expands to encompass demands that women's sports and athletes receive more resources and opportunities. The result is a firestorm of controversy on and off campus. Drawing on congressional testimonies from the Title IX hearings, players advance their views in student government meetings, talk radio shows, town meetings, and impromptu rallies. As students wrestle with questions of gender parity and the place of athletics in higher education, they learn about the implementation—and implications—of legal change in the United States.

Book Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Its Impact on Interscholastic Athletics

Download or read book Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Its Impact on Interscholastic Athletics written by Rebecca P. FitzPatrick and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempts to examine the role of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 in interscholastic athletics to determine if a pattern exists in the application of the law. The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is responsible for enforcing the goal of Title IX, which is to prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender in educational programs receiving federal assistance. Examining federal legislation, litigation, and guidance from the Office for Civil Rights provides a historical backdrop in which to examine the potential future guidance of Title IX on interscholastic athletics. Title IX was originally passed to rectify inequities in colleges and university programs, although it mentioned elementary and secondary schools. The earliest application of the law was on academic programs and departments. Ultimately, through guidance from the Office for Civil Rights and court cases the law was applied more broadly to include athletics and interscholastic institutions. The purpose of this study is to examine the patterns of application of the law to interscholastic athletics. Areas of examination include the application of Title IX's three-part test, elements in Title IX litigation, Title IX court case jurisdiction, frequency of interscholastic Title IX decisions, Title IX court cases by sport, Title IX court cases by gender, and the impact of booster club funding. The analysis of these areas provides school district administrators with instructive guidance for avoiding litigation and ultimately providing equitable athletic opportunities for both boys and girls.

Download or read book Equality Unfulfilled written by James N. Druckman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1972 is often hailed as an inflection point in the evolution of women's rights. Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a law that outlawed sex-based discrimination in education. Many Americans celebrate Title IX for having ushered in an era of expanded opportunity for women's athletics; yet fifty years after its passage, sex-based inequalities in college athletics remain the reality. Equality Unfulfilled explains why. The book identifies institutional roadblocks – including sex-based segregation, androcentric organizational cultures, and overbearing market incentives – that undermine efforts to achieve systemic change. Drawing on surveys with student-athletes, athletic administrators, college coaches, members of the public, and fans of college sports, it highlights how institutions shape attitudes toward gender equity policy. It offers novel lessons not only for those interested in college sports but for everyone seeking to understand the barriers that any marginalized group faces in their quest for equality.

Download or read book Getting in the Game written by Deborah L. Brake and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-08-20 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title IX, a landmark federal statute enacted in 1972 to prohibit sex discrimination in education, has worked its way into American culture as few other laws have. The subject of web blogs and T-shirt slogans, it is credited with opening the doors to the massive numbers of girls and women now participating in competitive sports, yet few people fully understand the extent to which it has succeeded in challenging the gender norms that have circumscribed women's place in society more generally. In this legal analysis of Title IX, the author, a law professor assesses the statute's successes and failures. She provides an understanding and appreciation of what Title IX has accomplished, while taking a critical look at the places where it has fallen short.

Download or read book Title IX written by Robert Marcus Canonico and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few pieces of legislation have had more of an effect on public education in recent years than Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. Female athlete participation has increased considerably as a result of this regulation. The purpose of this study, which was conducted in the state of Texas, was to find out how athletic directors—male and female head coaches—felt about their campuses’ compliance with Title IX components. The study focused on the results of a survey instrument that included 14 Likert-scale items and a number of demographic questions. The goal of this study was to (a) look at how athletic directors and head coaches of both male and female athletes perceive their school district’s level of Title IX compliance, and (b) look at specific patterns that determine whether Texas school districts are in compliance or noncompliance with specific Title IX provisions. The law focuses on equality in athletic opportunities under the following situations: (a) the choice of sports and performance levels (i.e., the successful accommodation of the desires and skills of members of both sexes); (b) the provision of equipment and supplies; (c) the arrangement of games and practice time; (4) the ability to obtain coaching and academic tutoring; (d) the provision of locker rooms, practice rooms, and competitive facilities; (e) advertising; and (f) the recruitment of coaching and academic tutoring. Descriptive and causal-comparative methods were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that regardless of their function, athletic directors, head girls coaches, and head boys coaches in Texas public high schools believed their schools complied with Title IX criteria to a high degree. A descriptive examination of the replies by respondent role revealed minor differences between male and female head coaches. Finally, the study revealed athletic directors should pay greater attention to coaching assignments, salary, and athletic facilities to comply with Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments. Keywords: Title IX, athletics, perceptions, athletic director, head coach, high school

Book excerpt: Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender in any federally funded educational program or activity receiving federal financial aid. Prior to 1972, opportunities in the public school systems for females to be active participants in sports were far different than today. Gender equality was not then a recognized term. It is now. The author discusses the opportunities for females to participate in sports prior to 1972, enactment of Title IX legislation as the impetus for social and cultural change, the impact of this legislation upon student-athletes and the compliance issues that need continual monitoring. The book is written by a pioneer who helped champion equitable opportunities for female student-athletes in the State of Connecticut.
