[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 791147, member: 2426"] What about the claims about the NCAA's non-profit status? A 501(c)(3) organization is required to use money to promote the designated charity. In the case of the NCAA that is "equipping student-athletes to succeed on the playing field, in the classroom and throughout life." There are requirements for 501(c)(3) organizations that prohibit selective funding based on revenue generation. A local amateur baseball league can't have a fundraiser and pay league dues of individual athletes based on how much fundraising that individual athlete's family did. If they sell Krispy Kreme, they cannot deduct $1 from an athlete's dues for every box that athlete sells. They could sell 10,000 boxes and deduct $10,000 worth of dues across all of the athletes. But they cannot require participation and they cannot reward participation. Doing so can have the 501(c)(3) status revoked. What are the complaints in Fortner's post? A nod to the social media posts about weight facilities, questions about branding on the floors, and disparities in COVID testing. Why would the NCAA believe that women do not need weight facilities? Maybe women do work out differently and need different equipment, but one rack of dumbbells is in no way acceptable. If the women's tournament brings in $40-$50 million, why can't the floors be covered with adequate branding so that people know that it is the NCAA tournament?
