“…(Dworkin & Messner, 1999, p. 346) As women show themselves as interested in sport and often as highly capable athletes, there have been important shifts in various gender regimes (Connell, 2002). In the United States, for instance, women's demands for increased collegiate athletic opportunities resulted in legislation requiring schools to devote equal resources to men's and women's athletics (Shaw, 1995).…”

This article examines two action sports-skydiving and snowboarding-as cases of women on men's turf and explores the construction of gender in the ways women negotiate space in these male-dominated arenas. It investigates some of the ways in which women's participation in these activities is constrained and the strategies women employ to carve out spaces for themselves in these sporting contexts. Women in both sports tend to engage in strategies rooted in middle-class and liberal notions of resistance. Most of these exemplify what researchers have called "reproductive agency." Some strategies, however, seem to exemplify "resistant agency." The article explores the potential of these strategies to bring about meaningful social change.

“…The first factor is the numerous court rulings that favored women athletes and that clarified, reinforced, and expanded the Title IX legislation (Blum 1994;Lederman 1993;Naughton 1997aNaughton , 1997bShaw 1995). In the context of these legal decisions, the university's gender equity record in athletics came under attack.…”

This research examines the emergence and development of a women's collegiate ice hockey club at a large university in the midwestern United States during the 1990s. The aim of this article is to assess the role that collective action plays in contesting sexist structures and practices within a traditionally male-dominated institution. This article draws on collective identity theory, as articulated in the social movement literature, to understand the process by which perceived injustices at an ice rink are translated into collective action on the part of a women's ice hockey club. The findings, based on fieldwork and interviews, demonstrate that the club's collective identity as a legitimate ice hockey organization was an important factor in the women's successful challenge of exclusionary practices at a university ice rink.

“…Another major movement during the 1970s and 1980s that drastically altered the trajectory of the NCAA was the inception of Title IX. A provision in the 1972 Education Amendments, it mandated that no person should be excluded from having the opportunity to participate in any educational program receiving federal financial assistance (Shaw, ). Under the umbrella of a university structure that receives federal financial assistance, colleges and universities began to fund women's athletic programs, programs that were not necessarily part of the NCAA structure (Sperber, ).…”

“…As part of the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX reads, “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” (Shaw, , p. 7). Those familiar with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 will note that much of the language of Title IX is very similar to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.…”

The "Front Porch" 1 primary objectives: increase the exposure for our student-athletes and coaches, as well as for our world-class faculty and their research; create new revenue streams in the form of TV payouts, licensing, sponsorships, philanthropy and ticket sales; and provide long-term stability for the Texas A&M brand in a period of significant athletic conference upheaval. The SEC is widely recognized as the nation's top athletic conference, and through its extensive media partnerships with ESPN and CBS, the national exposure generated by the league is unparalleled . . . Today, because of these efforts, Texas A&M is widely recognized as one of the hottest college brands in the country. (Stephenson, 2013, para. 9)As another example, think of a major university for which you have minimal familiarity. What is the first image or phrase that comes to mind? Rock Chalk Jayhawk (University of Kansas)? Roll Tide (University of Alabama)?The blue turf at Boise State University? Mike Krzyweski (Duke University)? These are all illustrations of athletics symbols, traditions, and individuals for which major colleges and universities are known nationally and internationally. Thus, in this text, we explore the increasingly entangled relationship between the university and athletic department in this age of big-time college sports. We specifically focus on the many methods in which athletics relies on the university for funding, and in turn the ways in which the university uses these very visible athletic departments to enhance their brand and, ultimately, increase their bottom line through increased enrollment, donations, and similar strategies. The overarching goal of this monograph is to highlight the impact and consequences of the financial and cultural relationships that exist between universities and athletic departments at the NCAA Division I level. We begin with a discussion of the history of the NCAA to set the context for this discussion.
