..not just the part that supports the ignorant argument you're making.

The profit made from men's sports is due largely in part to the massive investment made to ensure those enormous returns continue to grow. Stop acting like men's sports were always the cash cow that they're known to be today. Building that support and structure takes time & effort.

No one is expecting things to be equal over night, but the paltry examples of support for women shown by the NCAA this week was embarrassing.

Y'all sound like a bunch of people who simply don't want to admit that you're sexist and don't appreciate women, when those very same women are often pleading for the same opportunities and support given to their male counterparts. The saddest thing about all of this is that we know for a fact that men's collegiate and professional athletics would've grown stronger and faster with a more substantial investment during its early stages. That same intel can be used to help improve women's basketball and other sports in general.
