#TitleIX passed 50 years ago, but today the biggest college sport programs are abusing accepted rules to make it look like they offer thousands more female athletic opportunities than they do.

PM 🧵 on the latest in our @USATODAY investigation.

usatoday.com/in-depth/news/… We looked at 107 public FBS schools to see how they manipulated their rosters & found:

-- 2,252 spots added by double- and triple-counting athletes

-- 800+ spots added in stuffed rowing rosters

-- 601 male practice players counted on women's basketball teams
