In Their Court
In 1972, Title IX made gender discrimination illegal at schools receiving federal aid. Soon it became a powerful tool to start closing the gap in funding for collegiate sports. But in 2021, a viral video comparing the NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments showed that a shocking gulf still exists. As Title IX turns 50, In Their Court tells the story of the rise of a powerhouse sport, and why so many issues of inequity persist—within and beyond women’s hoops.

This series does such a great job laying out how power and money play roles in womens lives and careers, and the importance of exercising and defending your rights. Current events have shown just how easy it is to lose ground. This is well worth the listen and I’ll be sharing with my friends and colleagues. And I need to get my kids out to see a womens college basketball game!
