Why Aren't More Women Reaching The Top Of College Sports? College athletics is still very much a boys club. Of the 345 universities that sponsor sports on the NCAA Division I level, you’ll find only 26 females – a mere 7.5% - sitting at the athletic director’s desk. Unfortunately, these numbers mirror those of Corporate America, where just 24 of Fortune 500 companies employ female CEOs. Despite the fact that college athletics has long positioned itself as an advocate for equal opportunity when it comes to gender, more than 40 years after the implementation of Title IX, the opportunities available for female administrators at top leadership positions are profoundly lacking. Despite nearly all intercollegiate athletic programs employing a Senior Women’s Administrator (SWA), as well as various other senior administrator positions, the progression to the athletic director’s desk is few and far between.
