The NCAA is being widely called out over the differences in amenities offered at the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments.

Oregon basketball player Sedona Prince used TikTok and Twitter to call out the NCAA for providing women’s teams with a more limited weight setup.

Stanford performance coach Ali Kershner also called out the difference in what the NCAA provided at the two tournaments.

It was also pointed out that men’s basketball players were being treated to better food and a nicer swag bag.

NCAA Senior Vice President of women’s basketball Lynn Holzman responded to the posts and reports, noting the unique circumstances of the 2021 tournaments.

“We acknowledge that some of the amenities teams would typically have access to have not been as available inside the controlled environment,” Holzman said, per the Associated Press. “In part, this is due to the limited space and the original plan was to expand the workout area once additional space was available later in the tournament. However, we want to be responsive to the needs of our participating teams, and we are actively working to enhance existing resources at practice courts, including additional weight training equipment.”
