The Knight Commission called for the implementation of a gender equity principle that would provide equal rewards for the performance of NCAA women’s and men’s teams.
Zero dollars are awarded by the NCAA for performance by women’s basketball teams in the Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament.
“As a matter of gender equity and frankly fairness, there should be no connection whatsoever between the money coming into the NCAA and the money being distributed out consistent with principles of gender equity,” said Roberta Kaplan, founding partner of Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP, which conducted an independent equity analysis of NCAA championships following the flagrant inequities at the 2021 Tournaments.
Next month marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the federal civil rights law stating that any education program receiving federal funds cannot discriminate in allocation of those funds based on gender. Kaplan said equitable distribution and investment in women’s sports will lead to true gender equity.
