 Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act

Preliminary Summary of Key Findings

• More female undergraduates but fewer women participating
in sports.

• Football has the largest average squad size. This drives up

the statistics in other areas related to football. Football
produces the largest amount of revenue.

• Women’s teams have more head coaches that are women,

but more women are part-time coaches.

• Few women are head or assistant coaches of Men’s teams.

 Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act

Preliminary Summary of Key Findings

• Men’s teams receive more athletically-related student

aid in the aggregate but less on a per athlete basis.

• Men’s teams, in the aggregate, spend twice as much on

recruiting than Women’s teams.
