NCAA officials acknowledged Friday that organizers fell short in providing equal accommodations for men’s and women’s programs entering their respective bubbles — following an outcry online that was buoyed by at least two Maryland women’s basketball teammates.
“This is insane,” star freshman Angel Reese tweeted. In an Instagram livestream Thursday night, Reese, a Baltimore native, aired her grievances with the difference in treatment to over 200 viewers.
The online criticism followed a viral video posted on Twitter Thursday by Oregon forward Sedona Prince. In the video, she showed the weight room setup for the women’s teams, which contained just one dumbbell weight rack in a large room with tables and chairs spread out.
