The NCAA deserves plenty of criticism for the conditions they gave the women competing in the NCAA Tournament (including some from this site later today). However, as Matt Brown points out, there is plenty of blame to spread around. Schools weigh in on their priorities and Brown states that if athletic departments wanted to make this happen, it would’ve happened. A growing number of schools are out of Title IX compliance. If schools aren’t taking it seriously, why would anyone expect the NCAA to do so?
