The Southeastern Conference sponsors championship competition in nine men's and thirteen women's NCAA sanctioned sports.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.secdigitalnetwork.com/ |title=Official Site of the Southeastern Conference |publisher=Secdigitalnetwork.com |access-date=September 8, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.secsports.com/news/2024/08/rowing-becomes-22nd-conference-sports-to-be-sponsored-by-sec | title=Rowing becomes 22nd conference sport to be sponsored by SEC }}</ref> Under SEC conference rules reflecting the large number of male scholarship participants in football and attempting to address [[gender equity]] concerns (see also [[Title IX]]), each member institution is required to provide two more women's varsity sports than men's. A similar rule was recently adopted by the NCAA for all of Division{{nbsp}}I.<ref name="TitleIXrules">{{cite web|url=https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/01/15/changes-ncaa-rules-raise-title-ix-concerns |title=Title IX |publisher=insidehighered |access-date=January 15, 2015 }}</ref><ref>Under NCAA Bylaw 20.9.4, all Division I schools are required to sponsor a minimum of seven men's and seven women's sports, or six men's and eight women's sports. Bylaw 20.9.7.1 imposes the latter requirement on FBS schools. FCS schools, under Bylaw 20.9.8.1, may use either requirement. Note that this does not explicitly require a school to sponsor two more women's sports than men's sports.
