per the Daily:
When the federal government enacted Title IX in the early 1970s, around 90 percent of the head coaches for women’s sports teams were females.
But since then, the number of female head coaches has dramatically decreased nationwide.
However, the University of Minnesota bucks this trend with more than 57 percent of women’s sports coached by females, ranking it fifth in the nation in a study released earlier this month.
Nicole LaVoi, the associate director of the University’s Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport, conducted the study and published her third edition of it in accordance with National Girls and Women in Sport Day on Feb. 4.
