Article from yesterdays NY Times (Sedona Prince.) outlining the story and detailing some of the changes in the tournament.  Requires registering for a free account.

Great stuff. You go girl!

 

But it comes down to dollars and cents and not gender. It is a simple fact, women's sports, like many the men's Olympic sports exist because of men's CFB and CBB.

 

So, you give the guys in the $ ball sports an NIL salary and a coming pay-for-play salary and what will happen to women's sports? What will happen to men's scholarship golf, tennis, etc.?

 

At the end of the day you have a Pyrrhic Victory.
