Oh, Quinnipiac
It both seems like yesterday and forever ago* that Quinnipiac University became the center of a quite consequential Title IX case. In 2010 the university cut its women's volleyball team and, to remain in compliance with Title IX (the opportunities part not the rest of the laundry list) turn cheerleading into an intercollegiate varsity sport.

The NCAA […]
