In June 2021, the US Senate convened to discuss an issue central to the well-being of athletes across America: the personal rights to their NIL or Name, Image and Likeness. Over the past decade, student athletes have fought for their rights to compete and be fairly compensated. They’ve raised their voices, showed up in Congress and broadcast their concerns to millions on social media. But powerful institutions, like the NCAA, are convinced that if athletes, especially women athletes, get their way, it’ll be the end of sports as we know it: the sports apocalypse.

Carolyn Peck and WNBA Player A'ja Wilson share their experiences as Black women in collegiate basketball and beyond.

In 1996, the NBA is looking to the USA Women's Basketball Team Olympic performance to weigh the worth of a professional women's league, while women's coaches are still fighting for equal standing at the collegiate level.

The Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women was the women's version of the NCAA in the 1970s to 1980s until the NCAA stopped fighting Title IX in courts and staged a takeover.

In 1970s America, Title IX and the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters women's basketball team are in their early years of existence, and it's basically the wild west.

In 1972, Title IX made gender discrimination illegal at schools receiving federal aid. Soon it became a powerful tool to start closing the gap in funding for collegiate sports. But in 2021, a viral video comparing the NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments showed that a shocking gulf still exists. As Title IX turns 50, In Their Court tells the story of the rise of a powerhouse sport, and why so many issues of inequity persist—within and beyond women’s basketball.
