Column: Be Better. Support Women in Sports

Share this...

I went to the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) men’s basketball media day Oct. 16. There were 30-plus attendees, composed of beat writers, student journalists, sports information directors and coaches. I was the only woman in attendance.

There are 10 teams in the MVC men’s basketball conference. 10 teams and not a single woman journalist in attendance other than myself. As far as I know I’m also the only woman beat writer in the MVC. Last year, I had Missouri State University’s Amanda Sullivan join me. This year, I’m alone.

I’m not here to beat a dead horse.
