Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3903456, member: 5798"] The simple answer here is to have ONE company or vendor supply swag bags for the men's and women's teams, with EXPLICIT instructions from the NCAA that ALL bags are to be exactly the same.....gender not withstanding. How hard is THAT?!? :mad: The NCAA has failed to insure equality on various levels so far. As has been mentioned, there was plenty of time to plan and make sure that all of the i's and t's were dotted and crossed. [B]It's clear here that there are SEVERAL administrators at the NCAA offices that just don't get it.!!! [/B]If they can get it right, all they have to do is bring (hire) some retired division one men's and women coaches (temporarily) to plan, coordinate and oversee the operations for both tournaments top to bottom. THEY would get it right. They know [B]first hand[/B] what is needed, expected and desired. If WE (fans and interested observers) can figure out viable solutions to this [B]on-going problem[/B] of disparity between the men's and women's tournament facilities and support infrastructure, why can't they? :confused: The women have been in the back seat from day one, and continue to be. Emmert needs to step down or be fired. I wonder how a former female head coach with prior administrative experience and responsibilities would do at his post? There are a lot of them out there that could do a great job if given the opportunity. The buck stops on Emmert's desk, and he dropped the ball. He peed in the bed. :confused: The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Because of the players exposing the disparities in their facilities and quality of food publicly, changes will be made immediately. The question is why couldn't those issues been addressed earlier? Insuring that both the men's and the women's facilities, food and COVID test are exactly the same. It's not rocket science. All it takes is attention to detail and some follow-up and follow through. This is embarrassing for the Mark Emmert and his staff. The thought here is (from the women's prospective) "Don't tell me you love me, SHOW ME you love me." The actions so far by the NCAA planners and administrators have shown how much they love and respect the women.......not much!!! I don't understand how they thought they could pull this off and people not see it for what is really is? :confused: SMH. [B]Brianna Turner summed it up best: The NCAA men's tournament vibe: "We're happy to have you here." The women's tournament vibe: "You should be happy you're here." [/B] [/QUOTE]
