"In celebration of the 35th anniversary of Title IX in June 2007, the Women’s Sports Foundation released Who’s Playing College Sports?, the first of two reports marking the progress of gender equity in intercollegiate sports participation. Conducted by Dr. John Cheslock from the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Arizona, these reports come at an important time as Title IX continues to be criticized by those who feel that women are gaining participation opportunities at the expense of their male counterparts.
The second report, Money, Race, and Gender, is now available. It examines the factors influencing collegiate participation changes, with a special focus on Title IX, spending on men’s basketball and football, and changing preferences for less prominent men’s sports. Also included in the report is how the racial and ethnic composition of intercollegiate athletes has changed over time, including the overall change in the racial composition of NCAA athletes regarding the diversity within individual sports and the size of individual sports."
