FILE - Fans watch from the stands during the first half of the championship game between Stanford and Arizona in the women's Final Four NCAA college basketball tournament in San Antonio, in this Sunday, April 4, 2021, file photo. A law firm hired to investigate gender equity concerns at NCAA championship events released a blistering report Tuesday, Aug.
“With respect to women’s basketball, the NCAA has not lived up to its stated commitment to 'diversity, inclusion and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches and administrators,’” the 113-page report concludes. The report noted disparities were not confined to just this year's tournaments and noted 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 most of that was tied the media rights deal with CBS and Turner for the men's basketball tournament.to make improvements. But what happened this year forced the issue to the fore all over again., noting the men’s teams did not have the same problem in and around Indianapolis. Both tournaments were held in single sites because of the pandemic.
“The women’s basketball staff member responsible for credentials, game operations and approximately 30 other tasks had approximately eight men’s basketball counterparts with whom she was in theory supposed to coordinate,” the report said.
