Editing Title IX (section)

===Coaching and administration===
Although Title IX has helped increase the participation rate of female student athletes, several challenges remain for girls and women, including for females who aspire to become involved in professional roles within sport. The growing exposure of [[Women's sports|female sports]] has led to an increasingly dominant representation of males in coaching positions and roles involving the governance of female athletics.<ref name=":0" />

In regards to coaching roles, in spite of the fact that the legislation has helped create more and better opportunities for women, the number of women coaches has surprisingly decreased while the number of male coaches have subsequently increased. Men have also gained a larger role in directing female athletics. For example, the male-dominated [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA), which had been content to let the female-dominated [[Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women]] (AIAW) run female championships, decided to offer female championships themselves, leading to the eventual demise of the AIAW.<ref name="Hult 240">{{harvnb|Hult |p=240}}</ref> The NCAA later tried to claim that Congress had not intended to include athletics under Title IX's coverage, but the record lacks any sustained discussion of the matter.<ref>(Game, Set, Match | Author: Susan Ware| Date= 2011)</ref>
