Title IX Athletics Update – Compliance in the House Era

Although Title IX litigation has not been driving as many headlines in college athletics recently, compliance with federal civil rights law remains mandatory — and may present a new litigation frontier in the near future to challenge schools’ House payments.

On June 3, Dan Cohen delivered a webinar to provide athletics administrators with updates on recent Title IX developments in athletics that may have been overlooked amid the many other legal headlines but that remain crucial to intercollegiate athletics operations.  The webinar covered:

• Roster management under House roster caps and changing economics
• Compliance under Prong One and Prong Three, including the implications of recent Title IX litigation
• Risks of non-compliance with Title IX’s athletic scholarship metrics
• House payments and athletic financial assistance
• Equitable availability and visibility metrics
• Equitable treatment in the House era

As colleges and universities continue to navigate this period of transformation, our Higher Education team looks forward to engaging with colleagues and industry professionals at NACDA next week and NACUA in late June on the issues shaping the future of college athletics.
