Long-awaited NCAA gender equity review recommends combined Final Four for men s, women s basketball at same site
The NCAA has fallen short of upholding its commitment to gender equity by prioritizing its cash cow Division I men s basketball tournament over everything else, according a scathing review released Tuesday assessing how the association conducts its championship events.
A law firm hired by the NCAA to investigate equity issues released a 113-page report that includes a series of recommendations, including holding the men s and women s Final Fours at the same site and offering financial incentives to schools to improve their women s basketball programs.
I sure hope this report motivates major change!!! Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerVeer of national champion Stanford said in a text message to AP.
The report noted disparities were not confined to this year s tournaments and that the bedrock financial deal for the NCAA and its member schools is partly to blame: Kaplan said NCAA s structure and systems “are designed to maximize the value of and support to the Division I Men’s Basketball Championship as the primary source of funding for the NCAA and its membership.
NCAA revenues surpassed $1 billion in the year before the pandemic and almost $900 million of that was tied to the media rights deal with CBS and Turner for the men s tournament.
