The Impact of Title IX on Women in Intercollegiate Sports Administration and Coaching.

As a result, the couple found a middle ground, as Colleen maintained her head coaching position at SUNY Albany, while Lauren resigned from her head coaching position at NYU to dedicate time to raising her family.[68] They have found this life more maintainable, although it took sacrifice to get to this point. Men were then given the chance to take on either male or female team coaching positions, doubling their coaching opportunity, while females were still harshly limited to coaching female teams. This growth made the head coaching position of a female team a prestigious position that was no longer looked down upon when compared to the head coaching position of a men's team. As shown in Table 8, female student-athletes attain full-time employment at a 6% higher rate than female nonstudent-athletes, whereas male student-athletes experience the opposite, with a 4% lower full-time employment rate than male non-student-athletes.
