KANSAS CITY, Mo. – NABC Executive Director Craig Robinson has released the following statement in response to Tuesday’s release of the Kaplan Hecker & Fink LLP NCAA External Gender Equity Review.
“The KHF External Gender Equity Review outlines numerous examples of inequities in college basketball. These disparities, regardless of their intent, demand attention and in many cases swift corrective action. Encouragingly, the report also details many tangible recommendations that would elevate women’s basketball and the experiences of both women’s and men’s student-athletes, and we believe they are deserving of open-minded assessment. The NABC is an unquestioned ally for our colleagues in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and women’s basketball student-athletes. We also remain committed to advancing our strategic goal of furthering collaboration between the NABC and WBCA.”
