While the NCAA is making progress at advancing gender equity across the NCAA championships, a review of the association's work on the problem with respect to an initial July 2022 third-party review was released this week and notes that the association has yet to take true ownership of the issue. 

"In the course of our work, we repeatedly heard that, historically, there has been “no ownership of gender equity” at the NCAA and that this deficiency persists today," the report stated. "This lack of ownership seems to have been proliferated and prolonged by significant turnover in the NCAA’s senior leadership over the last three years, including in the positions of NCAA President, Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President over the Office of Inclusion. The NCAA’s divided governance structure – a National Office staff coupled with a robust member-run committee structure – also seems to have contributed to a lack of clarity over who “owns” gender equity."
