Phyllis Bailey
COLUMBUS, Ohio ? The Ohio State Varsity ?O? Women?s Alumnae Society will present the inaugural Phyllis Bailey Career Achievement Award to the award?s namesake, Phyllis Bailey, tomorrow during the Ohio State-Michigan State football game at Ohio Stadium.
Bailey, the first women?s basketball coach at Ohio State, is being honored for her contributions to the development of female student-athlete participation at Ohio State. She dedicated her 40-year career to improving opportunities for women?s athletics. At the university, she served as an instructor, advisor, coordinator of intramurals and recreation, women?s basketball coach and coordinator of women?s sports programs in the physical education department. She finished her exemplary career with 20 years of service as an Assistant Athletics Director.
Bailey served the university during a pivotal time for intercollegiate sports programs. During her tenure, she experienced the merger of the men?s and women?s physical education departments in 1968. She oversaw the establishment of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women in 1971, which organized and recognized female intercollegiate competition for the first time. With the support of Title IX in the late 1970s and the acceptance of women in the NCAA in 1981, the athletics department was restructured and Bailey became a department administrator.
