#1367: "A Title IX Suprise"

Governors State University

Title IX has been around for a while. It states that "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". Over the 44 years since the law was passed, almost 10 times the number of women and girls are participating in school athletics. The number of coaches is another story. Today on the Best of Our Knowledge: a report on the impact of Title IX on women coaches.

We’ll also meet a couple of friend who met at Bible study and ended up making lots of beer…and we’ll spend an academic minute flirting with disaster.
