NCAA undervalues women's basketball by millions, report says
CBSN
The NCAA "significantly undervalues and underutilizes" women's college basketball even though the sport is projected to command $112 million in broadcast rights alone in 2025, according to a new equity-in-sports report for the athletic association.
The report comes almost six months after women's college basketball players and coaches complained about disparities they experienced during the men's and women's March Madness tournaments. The weight-training facilities, the frequencies of COVID-19 testing and even the game floor were all subpar compared to what was offered for the men's tournament, coaches said. After that incident, the NCAA commissioned an independent review from an outside law firm. The review, released this week, concluded that the NCAA's gender problems go far behind mere dumbbells.
