So I was today years old when I learned they weren't allowed to.

NEW: For years, the NCAA has denied the women’s basketball tournament the use of the powerful ‘March Madness’ brand, even though it’s trademarked for both the men’s and women’s tournaments.

Today: NCAA says it will consider using ‘March Madness’ branding for women’s tournament.

So it's the same format, the same sport, and the same organization but they won't let them use the branding?

Honk honk.

So the NCAA hasnt allowed itself to use it?

This is certainly what is holding women back. Ratings straight to the moon next year

I’d assume they have the ability to market their events as they see fit.

So the NCAA has been moving tournament and championship locations over the past few years based on the SJ platform, all while denying women the right to use a slogan they should have been allowed to use?

I mean, it's a business decision since the men's tournament is such a cash cow and I'm sure they don't wan the "inferior product" creating brand confusion. Times are changing. Can't get away with that now.

This must be the first instance of a woke entity being hypocritical. Wild.

I swear to God, if any of you makes a "time of the month" joke about this, I'll make sure Chicken shuts it all down.

NCAA sucks, but they couldn’t win.

If they decided to use the MM brand for the women’s tournament, they would be been accused of imposing male norms on women.

Even the woke morons have enough of a brain to know there’s no “Madness” in watching 4 passes and a soft layup ...
