Under Title IX, expansion of opportunities refers to which requirement?

• A. The program demonstrates opportunities for underrepresented sex expanded or expanding.
• B. Equal numbers of male and female players in every sport.
• C. Scholarships limited to the lowest cost sports.
• D. That all facilities are identically sized.

Answer: (B)

Expansion of opportunities means creating more chances for the underrepresented sex to participate in athletics. It’s about broadening access and adding opportunities—such as forming more teams or slots—so women have greater opportunities to compete, rather than insisting on exact parity in numbers across every sport. That’s why this concept emphasizes increasing participation opportunities for the underrepresented group. The other choices feel like attempts at strict numerical parity, restricted scholarships, or identical facilities, which are not the specific focus of expansion of opportunities under Title IX.
