This paper is a synthesis of results from five separate studies examining how recent structural and philosophical changes in women’s intercollegiate sport programs may have altered the sport experience of female athletes. Based on both questionnaire and interview data, it was apparent that athletes participating in sport programs characterized by the greatest change (e.g., post-Title IX programs, programs of the 1980s, product-oriented sport models, and Division I programs of recent years) shared somewhat common experiences — with the presence of conflict being one of the most pervasive themes. Four types of conflict were identified: (a) value alienation, (b) role strain, (c) role conflict, and (d) exploitation. Each of these types of conflict is discussed and examples to substantiate the presence of each form of conflict are presented. Based upon the findings, it is suggested that the changing context and emphases of college sport may have exposed female athletes to different sets of circumstances, expectations, and experiences, thus altering the nature of the sport experience and bringing into question the educational legitimacy of college sport.

resentment is more intense when the object desired is abstract, such as fame and recognition (metaphysical desire). The conflict is also mimetic; as a result, other members of the community progressively become involved, and the potential for generalized violence emerges (mimetic crisis). The entire

Furthermore, Girginov ( 2006 ) explained that a limitation of this line of research is that focusing on leaders might give an impression of consistency. Instead, Alvesson ( 2017 ) suggested

Instead, differentiation researchers often privilege and report subcultural conflicts, issues of power, and differences
