Despite Title IX's passage over fifty years ago, disparities persist, with girls having over a million fewer opportunities than boys to participate in high school sports, and women comprising only 44% of college athletes despite being the majority of undergraduate students. The act aims to promote fairness in participation opportunities and institutional support for women's and girls' sports programs.

Murphy took concrete same-term federal action by introducing and promoting the Fair Play for Women Act, which closely matches the promise's focus on participation opportunities and institutional support for women's and girls' sports. However, the evidence shows S.543 was only introduced and referred to the Senate HELP Committee, with no enactment or implemented federal policy outcome by May 31, 2026. That makes this a serious legislative attempt rather than a fulfilled promise.
