Female Coach Breaks Through the Glass Ceiling
Filed in archive News by Rhys on May 25, 2006

The University of Tennessee has rewarded Lady Vols women's Basketball Coach
Pat Summitt with a six-year contract extension and a landmark compensation package for her sport. Summitt becomes the first women's coach to break the $1 million barrier. "This is a landmark statement for women's athletics,'' Lady Vols athletic director Joan Cronan said.
Summitt just completed her 32nd season as the Lady Vols coach. She surpassed the 900-victory plateau and currently stands as the winningest coach in Division I with 913 victories.
It is wonderful news, but should it really have taken 32 seasons?
