This week on More Likely Than Not, Kayleigh and Joe welcome colleague W. Scott Lewis, J.D., Managing Partner at TNG and Chair of the NABITA Advisory Board. They discuss how Title IX compliance and equity are moving targets, with Little v. Hecox and BPJ v. West Virginia poised to shape national policy on transgender athletes.

They also explore whether esports should fall under Title IX, and the complexities of harassment in male-dominated online spaces. Scott and the hosts discuss the debate over equitable NIL payments for male and female athletes, raising important questions about balancing market-based compensation with Title IX’s equity standards that could affect scholarships, travel, and resources. The conversation also touches on the potential for emerging sports like competitive cheer and dance to be recognized under Title IX.

If you’re wondering how pending court decisions will impact athletic programs or how to ensure policy and training compliance, we’re more likely than not covering it in this week’s episode.
