The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has for years prioritized men’s basketball and taken multiple actions that contributed to gender inequities in the sport, including by undervaluing the women’s annual tournament by millions of dollars, according to an independent report released Tuesday. 
The 118-page report was the result of a months-long investigation into the structure and practices of the NCAA, which commissioned the law firm Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP to investigate it and provide recommendations on how to better promote gender equity. 
The probe, which relied on interviews with dozens of NCAA executives and employees and documents provided to the firm, followed allegations of gender inequality in the NCAA after a viral social media video showed stark differences between the weight rooms designated for men's and women's players at their March tournaments.
