INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â To hear many of those in charge of Division I programs tell it, the state of play for womenâs sports could get worse, not better, under proposals that would put more money in the pockets of some college athletes.
Via a new Associated Press survey of athletic directors, and in conversations with ADs and conference commissioners during March Madness, a picture emerged of concern for sports other than the two largest revenue-generators, football and menâs basketball.
The AP asked 357 ADs a series of online questions shortly before various differences between the menâs and womenâs basketball tournaments were put on full display over the past two weeks, drawing complaints from players and coaches, along with mea culpas from the NCAA. Granted anonymity in exchange for candor, 99 athletic directors participated.
