The recent terrible optics around Tribe Athletics continues; as you’ve probably heard, the female athletes from the cut Tribe aports teams have threatened a Title IX lawsuit. It’s being reported by most local/regional/national news outlets and if you haven’t seen it, here’s the link:

The law firm, Bailey & Glasser, would not take this case on unless they were positive they will win.
What is most disturbing is that according to the firm’s senior partner, Arthur Bryant, W&M has not been in compliance with Title IX for the past two years:
“Bryant cited W&M numbers submitted to the U.S. Department of Education for the 2018-19 school year as part of the basis for a lawsuit. The numbers showed the school’s female undergraduate enrollment to be 57.7%, but only 46.3% of its intercollegiate athletes were female.”
It is appalling that AD Samantha Huge, who trumpets herself as an advocate for women, has actually denied W&M’s female athletes of opportunities equal to that of men. Not to mention the fact that she has exposed The College to a massive lawsuit that W&M will lose.
