“I was happy when Title IX came out,” the previous Notre Dame coach wrote. “But here we are, many years later, and now we can’t even ensure women competing against women.Â
“It’s loopy!”
Title IX was originally published on June 23, 1972. The law prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools and other education programs that receive funding from the federal government.
“No particular person in the United States shall, on the idea of intercourse, be excluded from participation in, be denied the advantages of, or be subjected to discrimination underneath any schooling program or exercise receiving Federal monetary help,” Title IX stated.

Recently, the Biden administration unveiled new Title IX rules zeroing in on safeguarding LGBTQ+ students and changing the ways in which sexual harassment and assault claims are adjudicated on campus.
The new rules stopped short on barring transgender athletes from competing against females in women’s sports.
Last week, a U.S. district court in Kentucky ordered the implementation of the Biden administration’s new Title IX protections halted after a West Virginia girl and a Christian Educators Association International sued over a transgender teen competing on a middle school team. The new injunction applies to Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia.
