Ali Kershner Showed the Difference between the Men's and Women's Gym at the NCAA Tournament Bubble
Ali Kershner is a Performance Coach, her job is to get the girls fit and strong, but you see that cannot be done with 14 dumbells and none heavier than 30 pounds. Well, that is exactly what happened when Ali showed up to see the facilities, the boys have a whole warehouse full of equipment while the girls were left with some mats and 14 dumbells.
NCAA is no stranger to controversy, an organization that makes $840 million from Men's Basketball TV rights alone without compensating the players for their contribution. This year was also the same old story as Athletes started protesting with #NotNCAAProperty. But the controversy soon shifted to the organizer's behavior relating to the different treatments men and women athletes received at the facilities.
Seeing the drastic difference in gyms, Ali wrote on her Instagram post, "These women want and deserve to be given the same opportunities. Not only that - 3 weeks in a bubble and no access to DBs above 30’s until the sweet 16? In a year defined by a fight for equality, this is a chance to have a conversation and get better."

Since the post and other athletes commenting about the situation, NCAA has apologized. The outcry was massive with NBA players getting involved in shaming the NCAA and their treatment of female athletes. It is laughable to think the organization thought they could get away with the different treatments in today's day and age.
