TABLE TALK
In this episode of the PEAC-Train Like a Girl podcast, hosts Mia and Megan engage in an illuminating table talk about the discrepancies in athletics, especially as they pertain to female athletes. Mia shares her personal experiences and connects them to a revealing article from The Hoya, highlighting the stark differences in funding between men’s and women’s athletic programs at Georgetown University.
Introduction to Athletic Discrepancies:
Findings from a two-year research project conducted by Georgetown University, revealing the significant disparities in funding: $44.8 million for men’s varsity sports versus $12.3 million for women’s teams for the fiscal year 2022-23.
The hosts discuss the impact of these discrepancies on female athletes and the sports community.
Focus on Basketball Funding:
Notable differences in funding for basketball teams are highlighted, with Georgetown spending $34.3 million on its men’s basketball team and nearly ten times less—$3.5 million—on the women’s team.
Insights into how these financial differences affect opportunities and resources available to female athletes.
Wider Discrepancies Beyond Funding:
