Judge Wilken's concerns focused on what aspects?

• A. Title IX compliance, fair distribution, and representation of smaller schools
• B. Increasing TV revenue
• C. Lower academic standards
• D. Recruiting more athletes

Answer: (A)

The question tests understanding of equity and compliance in intercollegiate athletics, especially how resources and opportunities should be distributed to meet Title IX expectations and ensure smaller programs aren’t left behind. Judge Wilken’s concerns were about fairness in how athletic opportunities and support are allocated across genders and across institutions of varying sizes, so that women athletes receive equitable treatment and smaller schools still have a voice and access in major decisions.

This is why the best answer highlights Title IX compliance, fair distribution of resources, and representation of smaller schools. Increasing TV revenue, lowering academic standards, or recruiting more athletes focus on other goals that don’t directly address equity, resource allocation, or inclusive governance.
