Last week Sports Illustrated brought out on one of its covers TITLE IX 40 years of change. The entire front cover is all white with black san serif print quoted in a red large quote symbol"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education receiving Federal financial assistance...." June 23, 1972. When I was looking over the magazine the issue presents 50 pages of men in sports, men advertisements, and photographs and only 20 pages about how Title IX was put into effect over the years. Now my question or my curiosity came into place on the date JUNE 23, 1972. Title IX was in place before Rene Portland became head coach at Penn State. If the last incident occurred in 2007 with Jennifer Harris, why was Rene Portland allowed to be sued by the school $10,000. Knowing about Title IX, being aware that she was a leader that many looked up, why wasn't she punished severely for the fact that TItle IX is not a new policy? Why was she not held accountable for her actions in a more severely manner? When I look at the magazine, it feels like its just print that has to be placed in school like instructions on how to use APA format. The magazine should have been all about the beginning before Title IX, the struggles, and the outcomes. Yes, it is true how Title IX speaks out, but does not speak about how the media should portray women in sports.                                                                         Geannie Tomas KIN 388
