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.

Bill 118 H.Con.Res. 54, also known as the 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, is a piece of legislation that aims to address issues of gender discrimination within collegiate athletics.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity that receives federal funding. This includes collegiate athletics programs, which are often overseen by organizations like the NCAA.

The bill expresses the belief of Congress that Title IX should apply to the NCAA, and that the organization should take steps to prevent discrimination on the basis of sex in its programs and activities. This would mean ensuring that female athletes have equal opportunities and resources as their male counterparts, and that they are not subjected to unfair treatment or barriers based on their gender. By passing this legislation, Congress is sending a clear message to the NCAA that they are expected to uphold the principles of Title IX and work towards creating a more equitable and inclusive environment for all student-athletes, regardless of gender. This bill serves as a reminder of the importance of gender equality in collegiate athletics and the need for organizations like the NCAA to actively address and prevent discrimination on the basis of sex.
