Saw this article on ESPN recently. The last mens bball tourney generated income of $864.6 million dollars. The womens tourney lost $2.8 million dollars. So there's your argument. Do the women deserve as much as the men? I can see both sides.

I will say this though. My nephew is in a band and made a record that sold about 50 copies- most of those were to family members. Beyonce sells millions of records. Should they make the same money? They are doing the same thing so should they be paid eqaully? There is no right or wrong answer to my initial question, and I'm guessing the guys competing in the tourney feel they should earn more than the women, and the women think they should be treated equally. Good luck solving that one.

Some universities didn’t participate at all in the men’s NCAA tourney - should they receive zero of the revenue?
