The purpose of Title IX was to insure 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” (Barra, 2015, p.1). Although the law includes all aspects of college, the public mainly associates Title IX with athletics. Even though Title IX is a federal law, some colleges do not enforce its rules and regulations. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) recently “loosened restrictions on the forms of compensation or aid that can be extended to athletes or, in some cases, even their families” (Oguntoyinbo, 2015, p.23). Title IX should be consistently enforced in every college. It isn’t fair to athletes tto compete with other colleges who chose to not follow the rules. Recently, individuals have questioned if Title IX is still effective. Title IX should remain an active law because men and women do not have the same opportunities in college athletics. Female participation and equality for financial funding, and having equal opportunities between sexes are just a few of the areas that Title IX focuses
