Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4000774, member: 591"] Arguably the women's tournament probably gets treated much better than other sports, including perhaps some on the men's side. I also think there is a huge difference between covid and non-covid years. The Women's Volleyball tourney had some issues in the earlier rounds that did not seem very "cool" - of course there is nothing exactly comparable, but I don't think these issues apply in a normal year. Similarly, issues about the softball tourney that were raised date back over 20 years as to format, and Hall of Fame Stadium is unquestionably the finest venue in the country. That said, I don't think the excuse as to "money making" is the be-all and end-all; unless the NCAA wants to publicly admit that the only sport that matters to them is men's basketball . . . Then why are they running any other championships - none of which necessarily show a profit. Basically - all should be treated equitably. One thing to be recognized - the NCAA over the years has indeed done a decent job of getting other sport championships on TV - lacrosse, soccer, gymnastics, hockey and more are covered. That was certainly not always the case. [/QUOTE]
