Fans ripped the NCAA for bragging about the updated weight room at women’s tournament

While the NCAA is working to correct the major discrepancies between the men’s tournament bubble in Indianapolis and the women’s bubble in San Antonio, teams and their fans are still rightfully angry that this is even an issue.

Simply, the women’s teams have received unequal and subpar treatments.

One of the biggest inequalities was in the weight room, highlighted by strength and performance coaches for the women’s teams, including Stanford’s Ali Kershner. They also noted that their teams’ access to improved equipment would happen after they make it to the Sweet 16.

Saturday, ESPN’s Holly Rowe explained how the facilities in the women’s tournament bubble work and what recent upgrades have been made since the masses voiced their outrage, especially after one of the NCAA’s excuses was a lack of space.

Still, the NCAA failed the women’s tournament teams in so many ways, and then it tried to brag about the latest upgrades to the women’s bubble.

Between the “Let’s gooooo” and the exclamation point, the tone of this back-patting tweet is all wrong. It makes it seem like this was the plan for the women’s teams the whole time and the equipment was just delayed a bit.

And college basketball ripped the NCAA apart for it’s too-little, too-late response.
