today you will turn in a short writing assignment to Canvas related to today’s readings regarding the history of sport in the United States. One of your “readings” is a timeline outlining key dates and details regarding Title IX, the law that required comparable opportunity in educational programing including sport. I don’t have a writing assignment for this short timeline but it will help you see what is going on in the time period in regard to the establishment of college sport for women. The other two articles were written within the time period (1970s-1980s) we are investigating. We will look at different models of collegiate sport and the subsequent battle which ensued between the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) over the control of women’s collegiate sports. The AIAW was founded in 1971 after the NCAA declined to offer championship opportunities for women. Thus it was founded one year before the creation of Title IX and offered a slate of national sports championships for collegiate women. The NCAA administration opposed many aspects of Title IX in regard to sport especially fearing that it would draw resources away from football. The AIAW lasted until 1981 when the NCAA began offering championships for women. Each organization had different philosophies. The AIAW was not only formed to provide competitive opportunities but wanted to establish an educational model of college sport. In contrast the NCAA had long embraced a commercial model of sport, which critics suggested downplayed athlete’s educational needs, particularly at the highest levels of collegiate sport. The Slatton article you will read for today, explains some key ideas from the AIAW. The Terp article was written in 1981 and discusses some of the issues at play just as the NCAA would go on to “take over” the AIAW. When we come back to class in real time next week, I will have some comments to move the discussion along from the AIAW-NCAA competing models to issues a more focus on Title IX.
Drawing primarily from the Slatton article in a minimum of 400 words (total), briefly describe the major arguments and views of both the NCAA and AIAW in regards to each of the following:
Recruitment
Transfer Rule
Broad based programs
Student Involvement in Governance
Women as Administrators
(Note—be sure you write up both the NCAA’s position and the AIAW’s position on each of the above and again do so in a minimum of 400 words. I recognize that the Slatton article is mostly about the AIAW’s positions, thus you will have more to say about the AIAW. Some places in the Slatton article directly cites the NCAAs position on the topics listed above-or refers to the “current institutional governing patterns” which you can assume to be the NCAA. Other topics don’t have as much detail on the NCAA and I understand that. You might be able to infer from the context in those cases about the NCAA’s position. While they cover slightly different years, you can also draw from the Terp article as needed.)
