Conference Carolinas Celebrates 50 Years of Title IX
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Conference Carolinas joined with all of the NCAA on Thursday, June 23, 2022 to celebrate the 50
th anniversary of Title IX.
Conference Carolinas is proud to celebrate the 37 words authored by United States Senator Birch Bayh on June 23, 1972 that have sustained an impressive legacy.
"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
These powerful words from the landmark statute have led to unprecedented growth for opportunities in women’s sports over the last 50 years.
Over the upcoming weeks and months, Conference Carolinas is going to highlight how Title IX has changed the conference for the better and how the league continues to lead the way in offering championship opportunities in women’s athletics.
Conference Carolinas will utilize its “Body, Mind, and Soul” feature series along with other avenues on social media and in video on
ConferenceCarolinas.com to highlight the past, present and future of Title IX in the conference.
