Wondering what to do in Cleveland before the Final Four? Check out the Title IX Academic and Legal Conference being held at Cleveland State University, March 28-31.

The conference, entitled "Girls & Women Rock: Celebrating 35 Years of Sport and Title IX," features lots of big names as invited speakers: Birch Bayh, Billie Jean King, USA Today's Christine Brennan, the Women's Sports Foundation's Donna Lopiano, and Nancy Hogshead-Makar, to name a few.

Special events and performances include a luncheon address on Friday, March 30th at the City Club of Cleveland (Citadel of Free Speech) with Billie Jean King, Jane Curry’s one woman show "Nice Girls Don’t Sweat," the "Jewish + Female = Athlete" exhibit at the Maltz Museum of Jewish History, and a Title IX Birthday Hoopla with BJ "yes, they named the USTA after me" King on the evening of March 30th.

If you want to attend, you can register for the entire conference, Legal Conference only, or purchase day passes.
