The U S Center for SafeSport sees a 55 percent jump in sex abuse and misconduct reports in 2019. It received 1.3 million from the USOPC, bringing 2019 funding to 10.5 million with 239 monthly reports and 37 staff, and plans to double staff next year. Debate over long term funding grows as USOPC and NGBs weigh bigger government grants and proposed 20 million annual support.
