Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The passage of Title IX in 1972 led to a significant increase in girls' and women's participation in sports. Prior to Title IX, women's athletics received little to no funding and were not given equal opportunities to participate. However, after Title IX, schools were required to provide equal opportunities for both men and women, including equal funding for athletics programs. As a result, girls' and women's participation in sports has increased drastically over the past few decades.

B, C, and D are incorrect. There has been an increase in the participation of Black women in sports, but there has also been an increase in the participation of White women, so statement B is incorrect. While there has been progress in funding women's sports, there is still a significant gap between the amounts spent on men's and women's sports, so statement C is incorrect. According to NCAA data from 2019, women make up 44.6% of college athletes, so statement D is also incorrect.
