35	35	SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 1
36	36	Congress finds the following: 2
37	37	(1) More than 50 years ago, Congress passed 3
38	38	title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (re-4
39	39	ferred to in this section as ‘‘title IX’’), helping to 5
40	40	transform participation in and support for women’s 6
41	41	sports by barring discrimination on the basis of sex 7
42	42	in all schools that receive Federal funding, including 8
43	43	in their athletic programs. 9
44	44	(2) Since the passage of title IX, millions more 10
45	45	women and girls have had the opportunity to com-11
46	46	pete in school-based athletics. In high school ath-12
47	47	letics, athletic participation opportunities have in-13
48	48	creased from nearly 300,000 in 1972 to more than 14
49	49	3,400,000 in 2019. In intercollegiate athletics, op-15
50	50	portunities have increased from nearly 30,000 in 16
51	51	1972 to 215,000 in 2020 on teams sponsored by in-17
52	52	stitutions who are members of the National Colle-18
53	53	giate Athletic Association (referred to in this section 19
54	54	as the ‘‘NCAA’’). 20
55	55	(3) Despite progress, women and girls still face 21
56	56	unequal opportunities and unfair treatment in 22
57	57	school-based athletics. In high school athletics, girls 23
58	58	have over 1,000,000 fewer athletic opportunities 24
59	59	than boys, with schools providing girls with 43 per-25
60	60	cent of all athletic opportunities while girls represent 26

64	64	nearly half of all students. In intercollegiate ath-1
65	65	letics, colleges would need to provide women with an 2
66	66	additional 148,000 sports opportunities to match the 3
67	67	same ratio of sports opportunities per student as is 4
68	68	offered to men. Overall, girls still do not have the 5
69	69	participation opportunities provided to boys before 6
70	70	the enactment of title IX, over 50 years ago. 7
71	71	(4) Girls of color are often most impacted by 8
72	72	unequal resources and unfair treatment. At high 9
73	73	schools predominantly attended by white students, 10
74	74	girls have 82 percent of the opportunities that boys 11
75	75	have to play sports, while at high schools predomi-12
76	76	nantly attended by students of color, girls have only 13
77	77	67 percent of the opportunities that boys have to 14
78	78	play sports. 15
79	79	(5) As part of title IX athletics requirements, 16
80	80	schools can show they are compliant by providing 17
81	81	athletic participation opportunities for men and 18
82	82	women that are substantially proportionate to their 19
83	83	respective enrollment rates. Yet, a Government Ac-20
84	84	countability Office report from 2024 found that 93 21
85	85	percent of all colleges had athletic participation rates 22
86	86	for women that were lower than their enrollment 23
87	87	rate at the colleges. At 63 percent of colleges, wom-24
88	88	en’s athletic participation rates were at least 10 per-25

92	92	centage points lower than their enrollment rates. 1
93	93	Overall, the athletic participation rate for collegiate 2
94	94	women was 14 percent less than their enrollment 3
95	95	rate. Despite widespread noncompliance with title IX 4
96	96	athletics requirements, no college has ever had Fed-5
97	97	eral funding rescinded nor been sued by the Federal 6
98	98	government for noncompliance. 7
99	99	(6) The magnitude of current gaps in intercolle-8
100	100	giate athletics participation opportunities is likely 9
101	101	undercounted, as investigations of intercollegiate 10
102	102	athletics data have found that the majority of NCAA 11
103	103	member institutions inflate the number of women 12
104	104	participating in sports by double- and triple-counting 13
105	105	women athletes who participate in more than one 14
106	106	sport more often than the institutions double- and 15
107	107	triple-count their counterparts who are men, count-16
108	108	ing men who are practice players on women’s teams 17
109	109	as women athletes, and packing women’s teams with 18
110	110	extra players who never end up competing. 19
111	111	(7) Women and girls in sports also face unfair 20
112	112	treatment. They are frequently provided worse facili-21
113	113	ties, equipment, and uniforms than men and boys, 22
114	114	and they receive less financial support and publicity 23
115	115	from their schools. In the 2019–2020 academic year, 24
116	116	women received $252,000,000 less than men in ath-25

122	122	sports, they spent 58 cents, 62 cents, and 73 cents, 3
123	123	respectively, for women’s sports. 4
124	124	(8) Amid ongoing unfair treatment, athletes 5
125	125	and athletics-related staff too often are unaware of 6
126	126	the rights and obligations provided by title IX. In 7
127	127	surveys of children and their parents, the majority 8
128	128	report not knowing what title IX is. A study con-9
129	129	ducted by the Government Accountability Office in 10
130	130	2017 found that most high school athletic adminis-11
131	131	trators were unaware of who their title IX coordi-12
132	132	nator was or felt unsupported by their title IX coor-13
133	133	dinator. In intercollegiate athletics, most coaches re-14
134	134	port that they never received formal training about 15
