Beskrivning

This volume examines the intersection of gender, race, and other issues of identity in American college sports, with a special focus on Title IX, women's sports, and the NCAA Name Image License (NIL) rules. Using case studies, interviews, and textual examinations, authors contributing to this anthology seek to understand how intersectionality plays out in college athletics. Contributors focus on specific athletes (such as Lia Thomas, Alissa Pili, and Caitlin Clark), groups of athletes (including international recruits and cheer squads), and fans. The last few chapters are devoted to the newer developments in college sport with the transfer portal and NIL demonstrating how they coalesce with athlete intersectionality.
