HCONRES 54 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing the sense of Congress that title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 applies to the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) should work to prevent discrimination on the basis of sex in its programs and activities.

Congress passed HCONRES 54 to state that Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 applies to the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), arguing the organization must prevent sex discrimination in its programs. The resolution notes the NCAA controls member schools' athletics (including championship tournaments) and cites its own 2021 review finding gender inequities in facilities, publicity, and resources for women's teams. It emphasizes the NCAA should address these disparities, as its structure and operations fall under Title IX’s scope based on court interpretations. This is a non-binding resolution expressing congressional opinion, not a new law.
