They should make them play co-ed and only count 50% of the points by genders.
There you go - force people to pay for women’s basketball if they want to see men’s basketball. That’ll make it fair.
Not sure if this is a good idea. The potential for overcrowding around the game site could cause a lot of problems.
No way should they combine the finals. Keep them in separate locations and spread the wealth
Who has been waiting for this, Asspress?
just get rid of the women’s league - let them try out and play on the formerly called ‘mens’ league’s if they can make the cut; democrats have already told us there is no such thing as two sexes anymore anyway.
Solution: Recruit MORE trannies

Don’t care. Last year, for the first time in 30 years, I didn’t fill out an NCAA bracket. I used to LOVE March Madness. I’ve pretty much given up on all pro and college sports. Sports used to be an escape, but now you never know when an announcer, player or commercial is going to throw some woke propaganda at you. Good-bye. I don’t miss you.
Why don't these womyn just try out for the men's team?
I've seen Hollywood movies. The ladies would easily push the men off the teams, 'cuz they are just as good, or better, than men.
the women’s league needs more men
Maybe I am missing something, but why in the world would people be waiting with baited breath for a “gender equity “ report??
Is there anything lawyers don’t destroy?
Of course, it won't make people actually go to the game.
Soon - and I mean within a few years someone will get a bright idea and college sports. “Let’s have a league of just actual students no scholarships - all the best players will be in pro leagues anyway.”
D3 will be the way to go and it might even be fun to watch again.
Since 75% of college students will be women and or illegal aliens who know nothing about real football, the number of college football team will be down to about 100 total.
Given that this year most of the sports talkers thought the women’s tournament had better basketball, more unexpected results, and was generally more entertaining, this is kind of an obvious move.
The report noted disparities were not confined to just this year's tournaments and that the bedrock financial deal for the NCAA and its member schools is partly to blame: Kaplan said the 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 almost $900 million of that was tied to the media rights deal with CBS and Turner for the men's basketball tournament.
The women's tournament, meanwhile, is part of a package with more than two dozen other NCAA championships that ESPN owns and pays the NCAA about $34 million per year for, according to the report. But according to an assessment done for Kaplan by a team of sports media and marketing experts, the women's basketball tournament will be worth between $81 million and $112 million annually beginning in 2025.
The report criticized the NCAA for failing to recognize or prepare for that growth in value and said revenue generated by the men's tournament's media deal leads to that event being prioritized "over everything else in ways that create, normalize and perpetuate gender inequities."
“Long-awaited NCAA gender equity review recommends combined Final Four for men’s, women’s basketball at same site”
Long awaited by who?
What does gender equity mean?
That’s kinda like the US women’s Soccer Team demand to be paid as much as men’s team but women’s soccer cannot earn the kind gate $$$ as the men’s soccer does. Same goes for NBA and WNBA. If you can’t draw the viewers and the gate $$$ should the difference in player salary be “adjusted” to obtain equity?
This is the opening salvo of the battle to get in on the new endorsement rules.
Title IX, you know.
