Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 prohibits sex discrimination in education programs supported by federal dollars, including high school and collegiate athletic programs. The act dramatically increased the number of women playing sports. Although Title IX guaranteed equal opportunity, it did not guarantee equal spending. Women’s athletic budgets are still lower and scholarships less plentiful than men’s.
