Six Stephen F. Austin State University athletes filed a lawsuit against the school alleging Title IX discrimination after SFA announced it was axing women’s bowling, beach volleyball and golf.

A 2019 lawsuit filed by former UK students alleging the school violated Title IX by not providing equal opportunities for women to participate in sports is in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

SFA used the same argument UK is using in its appeal and won. While a case decided in Texas doesn't have any direct impact on a case in the Sixth Circuit, UK could use the ruling to help its case.

A ruling made in the Eastern District of Texas could have an impact on a yearslong Title IX lawsuit against the University of Kentucky .
