| Abstract | Many athletic departments at elite schools resemble exclusive country clubs. Participation in sport allows overwhelmingly White student-athletes to enter, leverage, and expand the rarefied social networks that are associated with those sports. As recent admission scandals demonstrate, these social networks are ripe for abuse by the wealthy. The scandal has raised important questions about race, class, access, and representation within Ivy athletic departments, notably the connection between the large numbers of country club sports and the modest number of people of color in administrative and coaching ranks. The abundance of sports familiar to wealthy, White families and the corresponding dearth of coaches of color reveals the difficulty Ivy athletic departments have in creating the structural conditions necessary to create successful pipelines for women and people of color. This article proposes that to alter this pattern of privilege and inequity, athletic departments should build pathways that increase the numbers of coaches and administrators of color in Ivy athletic departments. Athletic departments also need to provide the resources for significant numbers of coaches and athletes to engage with local communities in a sincere effort to grow diverse sports in low-income communities.
