You won't like what I am going to say and others won't either but the men's ncaa basketball tourney nets just shy of a billion dollars the women's ncaa basketball tourney loses money. That's just a fact. Why should the men's tourney bail out the women's? Where else is the money going to come from to make everything "equal"? Perhaps the ncaa is just trying to limit the loss.

What would have been the additional cost of adding Arizona clips in the Final Four promo video? That would likely never happen to a men's team in the Final Four. Dick's Sporting Goods also donated equipment to the women after it went viral. Poor planning prevented that, or something similar to that, from happening before hand.

It costs more money to include all 4 Final Four teams into a highlight reel?

Once again, please tell us why the women should be treated less than the men? Why do are you always backing the NCAA in this argument?

I also am curious about what is sexist about it? You know how much of the revenue comes from women's sports when we receive our Pac-12 check? Zero! Is that sexist?

You guys are curious about what is sexist? You insisting that it's just the facts about the money when, in fact, you know nothing about the money. The Pac-12 and the NCAA keep their books closed so that no one knows what the facts are. That is one of your sexist comments.
The NCAA keeps insisting that women's sports are money losers while doing nothing to promote them. You have to spend money to make money.

Maybe even an anti-trust action against the NCAA.

I simply pointed out a fact and am called sexist. Apparently when some don't have a legitimate response to a fact they use names to label others.
In closing the money that the men's and womens tournaments are primarily from tv revenue. CBS pays billions for the rights to the men's tourney espn no where near that. Also some say the ncaa and pac12 are secretive with their income figures. Well guess what oregon states athletic department budget is wide open for public scrutiny including how much was brought in by each pac12 tourney and ncaa tourney.

You pointed out a fact and I didn’t think that fact makes you sexist. However, you argument amount the revenue amounts are tough for the NCAA to make because their entire model is that they are non-profit so they don’t need to compensate the players. If that’s their argument fine, but in that case you better provide equivalent facilities for the athletes. A smaller swag bag, not good but I’m not that upset about it. However the weight and training facilities was inexcusable.

The report completed on the heels of this issue has been released... evidently in August. Just found this article today. I hope this Wall Street Journal article attached is readable for all.
Now to see if the "leaders" at NCAA can work their way out of the wet paper sack they are in.
