While more women are participating in college sports than men, fewer women serve as coaches and administrative leaders, according to “Women in Intercollegiate Sport: A Longitudinal, National Study.” The study was conducted by Linda Jean Carpenter and R. Vivian Acosta, two professors from the Brooklyn College of the City University of New York.

The study found that today, 21 percent of college athletic directors are female. This is the highest percentage since the 1970s, but only two percent higher since 1998. Compared with the 90 percent in 1972, just 43 percent of women’s college sports teams are now led by females.

Eight percent of NCAA Division I schools have female athletic directors. Nineteen percent of Division II schools have female athletic directors, compared to 34 percent of Division III schools.
