Riley Gaines recently criticized the NCAA for its weak policies in NIL, eligibility, and transfer portals. She echoed her views with Arkansas Razorbacks head coach John Calipari in calling for reforms in the NCAA’s policies.
Calipari voiced his opinion on the NCAA’s policies, stating that they are failing as students are leaving colleges due to steep fees. He highlighted that instead of focusing on education, the colleges are focusing on politics, and that the college sports are left with no proper rules. He further added that if the college system starts to collapse, it will first affect women’s sports.
Gaines, who has been a vocal supporter of safeguarding women’s sports, aligned her views with the head coach. She opined that the collegiate institution is suffering a fall under its own policies.
“The NCAA has never been more useless. They’re collapsing under the problems they’ve created. – NIL – transfer portal – eligibility rules – men in women’s sports The current system cannot survive as it is. Reform is needed. And soon.”
Gaines started advocating for fairness in women’s sports after the incident at the 2022 NCAA Championships, where she tied with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas in a 200-yard freestyle event. While Thomas was presented with the fifth-place trophy, Gaines was asked to pose with a sixth-place trophy.
