Merde Hitting Fan About Discrepancies In San Antonio

Still so much inequality. You would have thought the training equipment would not have been overlooked. I mean, really. Whose job was it to make sure that each facility was properly and adequately supplied? And are ALL of the locations equally poorly equipped? If all of them have just the one stack of dumb bells, bad enough. But if one of the women's sites has a more robust compliment of equipment, that is grossly negligent and give the teams at that location an unfair advantage. I am not saying this is the case, I don't know. I assume they are all equally pathetically outfitted.

Wow, things haven't been this unfair in San Antonio since the Alamo...

As stupid and embarrassing as this is ... and I agree that it is ... Let us share a hope that this is the worst story to come out of San Antonio in the next few weeks.  Because if this is the biggest bad news, then a lot of things are pretty good.

Yoga mats and some weights for workouts? This is outrageous. Cheezits, etc. for meals as opposed to major dinners with all the trimmings?

I think the training facilities are centralized at the "Convention Center".  Supposedly there wasn't enough room with courts set up until the Sweet 16 and this was in the 64 page manual.

Coach Taylor (Georgia) made a lengthy, but a tad snarky, tweet / post about Georgia bringing their own equipment because, duh, they knew about it but other teams might not have read the whole manual; although otherwise she WAS agreeing it was wrong and also saying that the excuse didn't stand up once you saw the space.

Additionally, Adia Barnes, among others, was quoted in the Athletic complaining that nursing babies count as one of the allowed 32 member traveling party per school.  As do any additional coach's children.  This in spite of the NCAA's publications urging women that "you can have a family and be a coach too".

The NCAA keeps shooting itself in the foot.

Unfortunately, Mark Emmert still isn't aware of cell phone cameras and social media?? Give him another century and he'll get it!!

Why am I not surprised? Women are still the second class citizens in this country. Here is yet another example of that fact.

Sad, but all too true.

Lots of apologies but no one is taking responsibility for this.

Who specifically is behind this fiasco and all its components is the question? Who approved this s--- and who made the decisions? Now even the COVID testing is a part of it. Time for some investigative reporting from the hoarde members hanging out in SanAn with time on their hands. We want a timeline on decisions, names of contractors, everything.

Here is a story from ESPN on the inequities and what those in charge have to say:

Gavitt takes responsibility
