Florida State has taken steps to enhance its compliance with Title IX laws, adding women's lacrosse to its roster of varsity sports, 17 months after a report highlighted non-compliance.
Seventeen months after a report showed Florida State was not in compliance with Title IX laws, the Seminoles formally added women’s lacrosse to become more equitable with its athletic scholarships. Athletic director Michael Alford on Tuesday announced the addition of the varsity sport and said it’s projected to begin competition in spring 2026.
Alford will begin searching for a coach in the coming weeks. The move comes more than a year after USA Today reported that FSU double- and triple-counted scholarship female athletes in track and field to apparently improve gender-equity numbers. The report said the Seminoles claimed to have offered 175 track and field and cross country 'opportunities' to women. The accounting method erased half of the school's overall gender participation gap that year.
