Women in influential roles

 Why are women underrepresented within collegiate athletic departments? I recently have been doing some research and I am interested to know my peers views (especially the men) on why they think women are outnumbered so significantly within the athletic department. Personally, this issue makes me want to be an AD even more, especially when you have mentors like Cindy Masnor (Assistant AD at CSULB), who is extremely respected within her field. Through studies, women are proven to have just as high as high of success rates as men. Is it still considered the boys club; do men still believe women don’t belong in the Athletic Dept. Gender equality is making progress but still has a long way to go when it comes to the generalized stereotypes of women that might be inhibiting women in athletic administrator roles.
