At Texas A&M, a woman athlete’s place is now among the elite.
If one wants to gauge how far women have come in collegiate sports since the passage in 1972 of Title IX, the U.S. federal law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, there may not be a more striking example than Texas A&M. The ascent of basketball - and of women's sports in general at Texas A&M - represents a profound cultural shift at a university that was founded as an all-male military institution in 1876 and did not admit women until they sued their way onto campus in 1963.
Women's hoops, and nothin' but the hoops.
