[QUOTE="flyinpro, post: 5077390, member: 13442"] I got really tired of listing to women, which is a debatable term to this group, cry about money equality in the World Cup. Most Americans care nothing about soccer. This year the NCAA women are crying about facilities for them vs what is provided for the men. Well............. The NCAA released figures for its 2019 basketball tournaments, the last ones unaffected by the pandemic, amid [URL='https://sports.yahoo.com/coaches-call-out-ncaa-for-unequal-accommodations-at-mens-womens-ncaa-tournaments-200115493.html']uproar over inequities between its 2021 men’s and women’s tournaments[/URL]. Figures for the 2021 tournaments are expected to be relatively similar. The 2019 men’s tournament, the NCAA said, generated $917.8 million in revenue, and $864.6 million in net income. The 2019 women’s tournament, it said, generated only $15.1 million in revenue, and that caused $2.8 million in net loss. The revenue gulf is largely attributable to TV contracts. CBS and Turner pay the NCAA roughly $900 million per year to broadcast the men’s tournament. ESPN pays the NCAA roughly $36 million per year to broadcast 24 other NCAA championships, including the women’s basketball tournament. Kathleen McNeely, the NCAA’s chief financial officer, [URL='https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/sports/ncaabasketball/mens-womens-tournament-gap.html']told The New York Times[/URL] that women’s basketball accounts for 15.9% of the ESPN contract’s value, per a third-party assessment. That would make the women’s basketball tournament’s TV rights worth roughly only $5.7 million per year. Want more money, draw more interest. Maybe when the women’s sports are dominated by mediocre confused boys things might improve? [/QUOTE]
