Title IX

     In 1972, Title IX became the law that gave all women an equal opportunity in athletics.  Women would, form this day on, be given all of the things that men had already had for several years.  This includes sporting facilities, uses of equipment, equal scholarship availability, etc.  This law would change the way women in  America look at athletics, and would increase the number of participants.   The law has brought  women a long way but there is still some controversy over law.

The regulation required that all institutions must be in compliance with the law by July 21, 1978.
     The impact Title IX has had on college athletics if far greater than that of any other level.  Women's athletics was never a concern for administration and athletic directors.   In response to a national invitation, 73 colleges became associate members and 205  colleges and universities became charter members of the newly formed AIAW (Woolum 18).
