This College Association Doesn't Seem to Learn

An NCAA basketball player posted a video of the equipment in the women’s weight room at the tournament site in San Antonio. The equipment consisted of a single set of dumbbells.

She then contrasted it to the well-stocked weight room provided for male players in Indiana.

Haven’t NCAA officials heard about the movement to treat women equally with men? It’s been around for a few years—OK, decades; which is ample time for them to learn that unequal treatment doesn’t just lead to bad optics, or to treating half of its bread and butter as sub-worthy of respect—it’s bad for business as well.

 

For an organization that has “College” in its name, it seems awfully slow on the uptake.
