Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a Federal Law. This Law states that:

“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.”

Title IX is a federal mandate that protects students attending educational institutions from sex discrimination. The law says that students cannot be denied participation in any school program solely based on their sex.

This law applies to all students, faculty and staff in federally funded education programs and activities. This includes private, parochial or other schools that also receive federal funding through different programs.

Before Title IX came to pass, female college athletes did not receive the same opportunists that male college athletes received. "The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which was created in 1906 to format and enforce rules in men’s football but had become the ruling body of college athletics, offered no athletic scholarships for women and held no championships for women’s teams. Furthermore, facilities, supplies and funding were lacking. "

Thus, leading to implementing such law to create equality between male and females in all educational institutes.
