Guest host Virginia Pederson is joined by three-time Olympic champion, civil rights attorney, and Champion Women founder Nancy Hogshead to discuss San Diego State University’s landmark Title IX settlement.

They examine the scholarship disparities at the center of the lawsuit, the significance of awarding monetary damages to former female athletes, and the broader cost of failing to address Title IX compliance proactively. The conversation also explores athletic opportunities, facilities, recruiting resources, outside compliance audits, and how this settlement could encourage similar lawsuits against universities nationwide.
