NCAA slammed for inequality between men’s and women’s facilities

Disparities in amenities and resources offered at March Madness basketball tournaments draw condemnation.

The association that oversees college sports in the United States has faced widespread criticism after a video shared on social media showed considerable disparities between the men’s and women’s weight rooms at their respective Division I basketball tournaments. Oregon Ducks’ Forward Sedona Prince shared a video on TikTok and Twitter from the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) March Madness tournament facilities. “So for the NCAA March Madness, the biggest tournament for college basketball for women, this is our weight room,” said Prince, pointing to a single stack of a dozen low-weight dumbbells.
