Weight plate

This is a column by Morgan Campbell, who writes opinions for CBC Sports. For more information on the “Opinions” section of CBC, please refer to the FAQ.

So far, we have not seen side-by-side photos. These photos were posted by Ali Kershner, the performance coach of the Stanford Women’s Basketball Team, on Twitter last week. Instagram users have shared these photos.

The weight room of a hotel in Indianapolis accommodates contestants for the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, and their storage room looks almost as rich as campus facilities. Rows of racks with barbells, rubber-coated weight plates and lifting platforms. No matter who is equipped with this space, they are aware that the elite athletes in it may perform power cleaning or snatching, the pivotal weightlifter, and finally the weightlifter drops the barbell, and needs a workstation optimized for high impact.

What about women’s facilities in San Antonio? The ballroom is usually empty, with a small shelf in the shape of a Christmas tree on which is placed several pairs of light dumbbells. Whoever puts the goods in that room doesn’t know or care. Excellent athletes in the transgender field will perform the same actions during training. The strength coach does not program the “men’s squat” and “women’s squat”. They squat.

Before the NCAA even held a press conference to explain the difference, private operators such as Dick’s Sporting Goods and Tonal voluntarily filled the gap. When NCAA vice president of basketball Dan Gavitt finally spoke to reporters on Friday, he called the mismatched weight room “a mistake,” indicating that the NCAA spent hours preparing for a half-baked spin rather than making a reasonable response. .

For example, Gavitt might tell us that the women’s weight room was inspired by celebrity coach Tracy Anderson, who used Pilates and slim dumbbells to keep actress Gwyneth Pat Luo (Gwyneth Paltrow) is famous for his figure. Anderson told Oprah.Com in 2008: “No woman can lift more than three pounds.”

Oops

Or, he might accuse the social media staff. He wrote this tweet since the deletion. The content was that Loyola-Chicago overthrew the top seed Illinois in the men’s championship matchup. The tweet contains an overview of the state of Indiana, and even if the NCAA treble is not audible, Twitter users can tell the difference. Perhaps Gavitt can explain that these ladies are equipped like the map on that tweet, only landing in the next state and should arrive quickly from Louisiana.

Otherwise the NCAA may tell the truth-the organization does not place the same emphasis on the women’s championship and its athletes as the male athletes and their games. Considering the drama of the weight room and the differences in COVID-19 testing, a reasonable conclusion can be drawn. Participants in the men’s championship are screened by PCR; the price on the female side is cheap and the accuracy of the rapid antigen test is reduced. But this is not an argument that a serious sports organization can cover in 2021, when many other sports industry participants were emphasizing gender equality.

NCAA can also place business that does not affect gender on the truth. This men’s tournament generates an average of US$771 million in broadcast revenue per year, and this figure will jump to more than US$1 billion when the new contract starts in 2025. At the same time, ESPN aired the Women’s Championship, which is part of a 12-year, $500 million deal that includes rights to a number of other sports. From a strictly business perspective, you cannot object to investing more resources in real estate that can make more money. However, to be honest, it undermines the existence of large American university sports, that is, to provide opportunities and experience for young people, rather than as a large enterprise to enrich a long list of stakeholders, but does not pay for the illusion of talent.

In our gender-neutral hypothesis, you may be able to prove that you spend a lot of money to play a star in a multi-billion-dollar event and save money for a broadcast property that brings only eight-digit numbers. However, if you introduce gender and there is no meaningful way to exclude it, then you must also investigate whether investing more resources in women’s activities can help them develop into a greater source of income.

Moreover, if you take a large college basketball game as a business as a business, you will not be able to avoid the fact that even the visible and valuable unpaid laborers in the industry should be paid, which is not only the in-kind remuneration represented by their scholarships, but also Include it. The new legislation allows athletes to use their names, images and portraits for profit. The treatment of athletes is not as fair as the current system, but it still relies on third parties to pay athletes, while college courses pay athletes as athletes. cost of.

If the setting is reasonable or reasonable, it will not only apply to players. But you won’t see Kentucky head coach John Calipari giving up his $8.1 million salary because he thinks he can make more money by licensing his name, image, and portrait . Turner Sports and CBS did not provide large scholarships to the NCAA to ensure the broadcast rights of the men’s game. They pay in U.S. dollars-not opportunity, experience or risk, not cryptocurrency or NFT-because cash is still the most important currency.

Therefore, the NCAA will tout the idea that it exists to promote opportunity, but if it does, the organizers of the men’s and women’s tournaments will stay on the same page about what athletes need to be isolated in hotels for three consecutive weekends. These people have a fully equipped weight room because someone realizes that they need to use all conventional training methods, but cannot retreat to campus for post-practice weight training.

As for the women’s championship, NCAA chairman Mark Emmert told the Indiana Economic Club on Monday that, technically, the weight room is not part of the deal.

He said: “It was never intended to use these rooms as weight rooms, but before the children went to court to practice, these rooms were fitness rooms.”

If the people who set up the women’s championship headquarters don’t think high-level basketball players use weightlifting, then the rest of us can question how much they know about elite sports in the 21st century. Moreover, if they believe that the women’s championship should not receive expensive allowances like a fully equipped weightlifting room, then it is clear that the focus will never be on promoting opportunities. Otherwise, you don’t need to link expenses to income. Each event will receive the budget needed to maintain the health, safety and performance of the athletes.

This means estimating the weight room that athletes have on campus, PCR COVID-19 testing, and providing better on-site nutrition for everyone involved, even if the extra expenditure hurts profit margins. If the NCAA does not want to ensure that the quality of men’s and women’s game experiences are similar, it should recognize the highest level of college sports as a business.
