About this listen

Betty is a trailblazer and icon in women's collegiate sports. She created one of the first collegiate women's basketball programs in the Southeast at Belmont University in 1968. That's four years before Title IX was passed (before Vanderbilt and the University of Tennessee had teams!). She talks about growing up on a farm in rural Tennessee, what it was like being a woman in sports in the 60s & 70s, and how she's handled adversity with grace.
