I am watching ESPN Sports Center tonight http://espn.go.com/video/sportscenter. The reason is the Lady Raiders http://www.texastech.com/sports/w-baskbl/text-w-baskbl-body.html won against 21 or 23 ranked Kansas State http://www.kuathletics.com/sports/w-baskbl/kan-w-baskbl-body.html . This is the second time the Lady Raiders have won against a nationally ranked team http://www.texastech.com/sports/w-baskbl/sched/text-w-baskbl-sched.html.
I am wondering what ESPN will say about NCAA women's basketball tonight. Not just about the Lady Raiders, but about the sport. They have a lot to say about the National Football League http://www.nfl.com/, and the National Hockey League http://www.nhl.com/. They have highlighted some NCAA men's basketball http://www.ncaa.com/sports/basketball-men/d1. but so far, no mention of the women's games http://www.ncaa.com/sports/basketball-women/d1.
Although 2012 saw the 40th anniversary of Title IX http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_IX, which was suppose to give equality to women's sports to men's sports in federally funded educational institutions, there is no equality. And, this is recognized http://espn.go.com/espnw/title-ix/7729603/five-myths-title-ix. As are other myths about men's and women's sports.
But, I want to hear about NCAA women's basketball on ESPN. If that does not happen, I may have to let them know about my dissatisfaction. However, the show is less than half finished.
