In college sports football may 'reign supreme’ in popularity, but it is behind the curve when it comes to diversity at its top tier coaching positions. The newest field study report to come out of the Global Sport Institute at Arizona State University shows the stark, yet unsurprising, reality of NCAA Power 5 conference Division 1 head coaches over the past decade - who is and isn’t given the opportunity to hold the position.

During the pandemic, the demand to end racial injustice permeating throughout America has yet to quell, even as we enter Fall 2020 season.  As 'Name, Image, Likeness' and college athlete unions gain support, will coaches also see a call for change and move towards more equity?
