On its face, Title IX legally guaranteed equal opportunity in education.

The 1910 University of Pittsburgh football team not only had the honor of being the second undefeated team in the program’s history, the first being the 1904 squad that went 10-0, but it also did something that the ’04 squad didn’t, it went through the entire campaign with a defense that didn’t allow a point.

In Boston, sports loyalty—and passion—runs deep.

And then, things changed. In the twenty-first century, Boston became the hub of the sports universe.
