The NCAA becomes a satire of itself.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with The Point.

13 years ago, satire news site The Onion aired a fake sports talk show announcing that March Madness would now allow 4,000 college basketball teams to compete.

All schools deserve to compete, said the fake announcers.

This will take March Madness all the way to June.

Well, during this year's March Madness tournament, the NCAA,

the governing body of collegiate athletics, has been running not-fake commercials, patting themselves

on the back for all the opportunities created by their work. One ad actually celebrated the NCAA's

embrace of Title IX, which gave female athletes the opportunity to compete in female-only sports leagues with greater access to

scholarships and therefore education. Well, just two weeks ago, the NCAA gave a women's swimming

championship to a man. So now the NCAA faces a real choice, acknowledge the real consequential

differences between men and women and why they are inherently relevant to physical competition,

or become the governing body that takes opportunities away from women and why they are inherently relevant to physical competition, or become the

governing body that takes opportunities away from women. If they do become a satire of themselves,

the women are left to suffer. I'm John Stone Street.
