The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:12 a.m., in room B-352, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Cardiss Collins (chair- woman) presiding. Mrs. COLLINS. Good morning. This hearing of the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Competitiveness will come to order. Today, our subcommittee's hearing will examine women's partici- pation in intercollegiate athletics, gender equity, and the impact of those governing regulations on intercollegiate athletics mandated by title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Women represent about a third of college athletes, but National Collegiate Athletic Association figures estimate that women get, at most, one-quarter of athletic scholarships. Women's share of total athletic expenditures is less. Today we will see, for example, that among Division I institutions, 252 offered basketball for men and 246 offered basketball for women and that these institutions spend substantially more in operating the men's programs than they do on the women's programs. For every dollar spent on operating a women's program, institutions spend, on average, $2.75 operating the men's program. For every dollar spent on recruiting women basketball players, the institutions spend an average of $3.21 onre- cruiting men. These are substantial differences, and I hope that today an explanation can be offered accompanied by some remedial solutions. Last May, I requested the deneral Accounting Office to conduct a review of college athletic budgets and hiring. The preliminary re- sults from their survey are disturbing. The simple finding was that at colleges and universities, other than historically black colleges and universities, minority and women hiring practices were abys- mal. The GAO report today, as does the NCAA's recent survey on gender equity, shows schools still do not carry out either the letter or the spirit of title IX which calls for equal opportunity for men and women in athletics. For example, within the men's and women's basketball programs at Division I institutions, there appear to be substantial differences in the salaries ?aid coaches in the programs. The salary of coaches in the men's programs are more than 80 percent higher than the (1) 5 2 salary of coaches in the women's programs.This., holds ue for both head coaches and assistant coaches. It should be noted that while 40 percent of the coaches .in the women's programs are men, none of the coaches in the men's pro- grams are women, and it is possible that the aggregationof data on salary by program is covering up an even greater disparity be- tween the salaries paid male and female coaches. I expect the data presented today by the GAO to reflect this situation. For too many years, schools have been spending more effort to find excuses not to comply with title IX than to find ways to imple- ment the law. For example, they often try to ignore spending on football despite the fact that the law provides

  • Billy Graham the Most Revered Person in N.C
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 7, 2011 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Billy Graham the most revered person in N.C. Raleigh, N.C. – PPP recently made news for finding that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the most popular person the firm has ever polled on anywhere, and that only Abraham Lincoln and Jesus Christ are more popular with voters nationally than he is in Wisconsin. So PPP set out to find who the most popular figure in North Carolina is. Eight of the 14 people tested were sports figures, but none could top a preacher in this Bible-Belt state. Billy Graham comes home from the hospital to news that his home state likes none of its residents better than him. 69% have a favorable impression of the reverend, and only 14% an unfavorable one. That level of raw favor and net favorability tops the list. Next is legendary UNC basketball coach Dean Smith (59-9), former Sheriff of Mayberry Andy Griffith (64-15), Smith’s most accomplished Tar Heel pupil Michael Jordan (59- 14), NASCAR great “King” Richard Petty (56-11), current Heels coach Roy Williams (46-10), rival Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski (49-14), Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (38-9), 2011 American Idol Scottie McCreery (37-8), NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (39-17), eight-term governor Jim Hunt (38-23), first UNC system president Bill Friday (23-8), former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Hugh Shelton (12-7), and wrestler Ric Flair (12-23).

I was in my 50’s before I truly realized how much this experience has impacted my personality and relation- ships. But the cycle can be broken.

  • Remembering Pat Summitt: a UT Martin Pioneer
    http://wnol.info/ Remembering Pat Summitt: A UT Martin Pioneer July 01 2416, 07 19 | 287 Heat's Josh Richardson looks back at lesson learned from Pat Summitt at Tennessee But Summitt was more than the sum of her achievements - she was legendarily committed to basketball, to women, and to women's basketball speciflcally. http://wnol.info/ The farm girl from clarksville, Tennessee, became a basketball icon. "l guess I got that from my father", she said. Pat was a great person, loving mother, passionate coach, and loyal friend. "And she and I used to joke, l'd say, 'You know, Summitt, I'm gonna be pushing you up in your wheelchair to the court.'And she'd go, 'You're gonna be sitting right next to me.'And I said, 'Absolutely"'. Her teams appeared in the NCAA Tournament 31 consecutive times. 2000: Summitt was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000. l'm sure Tennessee is happy they made their offer to the coach. She won 72 percenl of those games. Summitt's legacy is not just the eight gleaming NCAA title trophies in Knoxville, Tennessee but the constant stream of women's pro and college games on television, the dreams of thousands of girls who can aspire to a basketball career, and a national team that never seems to lose. Her victory total was the most for any Division I coach men or women. She was adamant that her players sit in the flrst three rows in lectures, saying, "Class is more important than a game".
