It would be interesting for the citizens of Indianapolis to see how much money is being reaped from NCAA athletes and the compensation of the NCAA leadership. How does the organization protect and support the athletes that they are supposed to serve?
Women’s basketball makes a fraction of what men’s basketball makes. To have even a reasonable similar funding structure would essentially result in the men subsidizing the women–which, no doubt, is basically what we have now. If it’s being “reaped form the NCAA” athletes (and it no doubt is–they are AMATEUR athletes after all) it is being reaped from the men at many, many multiples the rate that it’s being reaped from the women.
I can concede that it does seem unreasonable to use inferior COVID-19 testing, and a case may be made there that the subsidy money used for women’s b-ball should go basic infrastructural similarities. But if this were to happen on top of unnaturally high salaries for the women, something would have to give. Perhaps women’s sports should be intrinsically smaller than men’s so they can still enjoy the benefits of funding equally? Oh wait–we can’t do that because Title IX requires an equal number of male and female athletes.
This Gordian knot of regulations is all just too confusing for my meager brain.
Why the disparity? Men’s basketball makes money, women’s basketball doesn’t.
Women’s basketball does make money. Not as much, but ESPN still paid millions of dollars to air it nationally. Also, do you really think money is an excuse for risking their safety with inferior Covid-19 testing? That’s just wrong and sexist.
In an online, interview-style forum earlier this week, Mark Emmert, was asked a question about the weight room issue and I can tell you that the inflection in his voice/body language was completely insincere. In fact, he acted as though they were already addressing the issue, didn’t own it, didn’t (really) take any responsibility for something that should’ve never happened in the first place. Emmert needs to go. If you have to research WHY something like this happened at your organization’s largest event, you should resign or be terminated. Your plan in San Antonio wasn’t a mistake, miscommunication, accident or an oversight. It was intentional and it’s a reflection of Emmert’s arrogance.
I tried to watch some women’s games last night – it’s no wonder they don’t draw as much of a fan base ( and hence money) as the men do – they can’t jump for rebounds and it takes them forever to get from one end of the court to the other…….
