Quite a bit of backlash too. Stephen Smith stuck his foot into it too. Don't like that big mouth at all.
And her numbers almost seem to be accelerating!
matches a record with another 13 assists last night
An official for the U.S. Department of Education,
the federal enforcer of gender equity in sports,
said Title IX rules will apply to future revenue
dollars that schools share with college athletes,
but the department declined to offer guidance
on how schools should distribute the money
between men and women to comply with
the broad language of the law.
that is going to b interesting to see how they actually follow through
There are two new ways in which schools can help enrich their athletes. In addition to the potential upcoming revenue-share money, recent NCAA rule changes allow all schools to assist athletes in finding and fulfilling name, image and likeness deals funded by third parties.

A new proposal to start the women's basketball season days earlier than the men's season could amplify the growing spotlight on the women's game.
The NCAA's men's and women's basketball oversight committees have proposed starting the women's basketball season on the Monday that falls 22 weeks before the women's Final Four each season, two days before the start of the men's season, beginning with the 2025-26 campaign.
With the women beginning their season on a Monday
and the men commencing their season on a Wednesday,
the women's game would "have increased marketing
and promotional opportunities contributing to elevation
of the sport at a campus level,"
per the NCAA's release.
The change would also help both sports
avoid conflicts with Election Day and
provide more flexibility for TV windows and venue demands.
sure ! hell why not ! good for the game !
the mens will always have their following and lose nothing if the women start a couple day earlier . no skin off their nose , but could help the womens profile even if only a little
Makes a lot of sense to me too......kudos to the WNCAA! Hope it is adopted!

The NCAA, its five power conferences and lawyers representing a class of Division I athletes filed the detailed terms of an antitrust lawsuit Friday that has the potential to reshape the business of college sports.
Friday's filing is the first of several important steps toward formalizing the agreement.
The new details outline how past athletes will share the $2.78 billion in damages that the NCAA has agreed to pay, sets up a new system for revenue sharing and outlines new roster limits for a long list of college sports, among other items.
This could create some unwanted controversy too
Losers ask judge to reverse their loss
AP -
Plaintiffs' attorneys in a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA that is not part of a recent $2.78 billion settlement agreement filed a motion Friday asking a judge to deny preliminary approval of the deal.
Attorneys in Fontenot v. the NCAA, which was filed in a Colorado District Court, say the agreement to three antitrust lawsuits facing the association and five major conferences is settling for "just pennies on the dollar."
The NCAA, Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference agreed in May to pay billions in damages to former and current college athletes who were denied the ability to earn money from their names, images and likeness, dating to 2016.
