Quoted for emphasis.
Resources are not allocated equally in college sports based on the sport or the division. Colleges are also profit-based institutions and that influences these types of decisions. The female gym space for the NCAA is beyond inadequate for what it is, but that's where the conversation should end. There should be no comparison made with what the men get. This incident will be used to make a bunch of bad arguments about gender inequality in sports across the board.
As a merit-based endeavor, women's sport is of a lesser athletic quality than men's, and more importantly (like the lower men divisions in college) it garners less interest and revenue. Logistically, the NCAA is not going to spend as much time dedicated to anything but the highest form of any sport being played on the college level. Gender-based sports exist because women are unable to compete with men, and that's ok, and women's programs need to be funded and treated with respect, but that standard shouldn't be judged against what the male division 1 athletes get in terms of resources.
I say this generally speaking, her visual comparison here made her argument compelling, though you didn't need to see the men's weight room to know that the setup they had for the women was stll a slap in the face.

Yeah but the problem here is that according to the NCAA own website Title IX Frequently Asked Questions
- Other benefits: Title IX requires the equal treatment of female and male student-athletes in the provisions of: (a) equipment and supplies; (b) scheduling of games and practice times; (c) travel and daily allowance/per diem; (d) access to tutoring; (e) coaching, (f) locker rooms, practice and competitive facilities; (g) medical and training facilities and services; (h) housing and dining facilities and services; (i) publicity and promotions; (j) support services and (k) recruitment of student-athletes.
This is why...

If there wasn't a profit motive involved in college athletics, then those aspects of title IX would be seen more. The landscape of college and high school sports says differently.
Some professional female basketball players are now making comparative demands in the marketplace. What happens if some male college athletes start getting paid? What's the likelihood female college athletes will get the same compensation? As long as high school and college remain pipelines to professional sports, the sports that make the most money will be favored on the collegiate and non-pro level.
All generally valid statements and questions that don’t address that they aren’t living up to the standards listed on their own website.
They goofed, it’s pretty cut and dry

I also think there’s another very big reason:
From Brooks Kubena in BR's Sunday Advocate. In the 2018-19 season, LSU football made a profit of $56.6 million, an increase of $1.5 from 2017-2018. Profit from LSU baseball was $464,109 and LSU men's basketball profit doubled to $453,022 even though basketball ticket sales dropped. LSU's women basketball was the deepest in the red with a $4 million loss.
Women’s basketball loses a boat ton of money every year. It’s basically subsidized by the men’s sports especially football.
Edit:
Why Louisville women's basketball loses money despite a slew of wins

we really still doing this "women's hoops makes no money" thing like the vast majority of college sports don't operate at a loss huh

This clown really went with the hacked excuse.
I always laugh at this excuse because the hacker can do so much more but he is going on SportsCenter IG and hating on women?
Why y'all bringing up the WNBA in a topic about college basketball? If the NCAA is going to host these women in a bubble the least they could do is have equal facilities.
Yall dudes are weirdos who hate women
shyt is nasty in this thread.
