Title IX of the Education Amendments Act was signed into law on June 23, 1972. The goal of the legislation which was signed into law by President Nixon was to correct shortcomings of the historic Civil Rights Act of 1964 that allowed for equal access to education opportunities for individuals regardless of race, religion or national origin. The Civil Rights Act left out a very large group of individuals in females who had long experienced marginalized services based on the gender of their birth. Despite the long-term existence of Title IX legislation there is limited knowledge regarding the law. The problem to be addressed in this study is athletic administrators are apparently not providing adequate education to student-athletes regarding Title IX laws and protections. During this qualitative case study, the researcher conducted interviews with ten Title IX administrators at NCAA Division I colleges. These interviews were conducted in a semi-structured format to allow participants and the researcher to expand on answers and to develop a rich knowledge of information provided to student athletes regarding Title IX and the methodology and timing of the relaying of information. The result of the lack of knowledge held by student athletes regarding Title IX is the creation of a situation in which equity between genders is without its greatest possible defender in the form of student athletes. The results of this study indicate that student athletes are likely much better informed that they present as. Their apparent lack of knowledge is likely the result of a lack of tie in between the information presented to them that is directly linked to Title IX as being related to Title IX. The apparent focus of schools and Title IX personnel in providing education to student athletes regarding Title IX is largely limited to issues related to sexual harassment, discrimination, assault and dating violence. Likely as a result of limitations placed on resources staff member are unable to correctly link the information to the name of the information's source. The current shortcomings that exist in Title IX education are excusable as the focus of staff members is targeted at the more egregious violations of individual rights as opposed to issues that are solely administrative in nature. This targeting of resources does not negate the name to link information to the source of information and leaves student athletes in a position of disadvantage when dealing with issues related to Title IX.
