Maybe we should do a study to see if we lace up our cleats the same way, too 🤷🏼♀️ @NCAASoftball @NCAADII come on now!!
Mental health, physical well-being, and opportunities SHOULD NOT be limited to division or gender!!

This is called the inchworm approach. Slow steps to “equity” is not equity. Another missed opportunity for the @NCAADII to provide an equal championship experience for male and female athletes. Baseball has 8 days, softball must provide a “study” to prove they should too….C’mon!

@NCAADII CARA is equitable across the board bc EQUITY MAKES SENSE. A male/female athlete & a D1/D2 athlete require the same amt. of off days/hr. limitations. Why are championships treated differently?
Seems equity is only the standard when there are no financial implications.

Equity: the quality of being fair and impartial. A championship performance needs championship rest. @NCAADII baseball is afforded eight days while the softball championship "may" have six days. In addition, softball needs to provide a study on why more days are needed.

@NCAASoftball needs to do better with D2 softball! 3 years @ArmstrongPirate went to the D2 Championships. My body has never hurt like it did that week due to the games per day. Oh and 1 year we had just over 24 hrs between winning super regionals & our flight to Denver @ 4 AM
wïçk@imariahwicker
to going to the world series and playing 4 games a day. Our bodies are the same as D1 players. That is a FACT. Before even going to college we played with the same D1 players. We should have the same treatment. Period. Do better @NCAADII @NCAASoftball

@InTheCircleSB @NCAADII @UAH_SB @RollinsSports SAY IT LOUDER FOR THOSE AT THE NCAA!!! It’s a shame…it’s almost harder to get out of our region than it is to win a national championship!

While we're at, our friends at @NCAADIII want to have the same thing D2 wants:
A National tournament and more days for their championship

Student Athletes shouldn't have only have six days to decide a national champion.

We MUST do better for SA's & Coaches. It's known REST is vital to perform your best, recover, & assist in mental health. Let's allow SA's & Coaches to perform their BEST @ the end of the year just like other sports & divisions and create an incredible experience. Grow the sport.

Please read this thread. How can the NCAA say they want it fair and equal, but not even do that across the board for their DIVISIONS, much less their sports.

@NCAASoftball @InsidetheNCAA 8 day is all that was asked for. You allowed D1 softball to go from 7 days to 9 days. As athletes, what makes our bodies any different in terms of competition? It is the same 7 inning game isn’t it? (A thread)

To give our fans an idea and understanding what @NCAADII Coaches & Players are talking about, here is the outline of the D2 Baseball and Softball Championships. The 3rd schedule is what softball wants to do.

@gilly_time @NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA Exactly! I remember getting home late the night before and then going to get pregame treatment at 4:30am the next morning!
English
@kylee_smith3 @NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA If they let you had 8 days rest we have the 2018 trophy. No doubt. Finished night game, 6am warm up next day. Cool
English
Is this a joke?? As a former D2 athlete that has competed in two softball Championships (not World Series because that’s reserved for only D1) within a 4 day timespan rest and recovery is crucial and you still won’t even give us that even though D1 softball has 9 days(a thread)..

@kylee_smith3 @NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA Not to mention D2 baseball is capped at 50 games in a regular season while D2 softball is capped at 56. We already play more games than they do yet they still get 8 days because they supposedly need more recovery time. We should at least get 8 if not 9 days like D1 softball.
English
@NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA DO BETTER FOR ALL ATHLETES!! The disrespect to think D2 athletes don’t need as much rest or recovery as D1 athletes is just unreal! Are we not all competing at the collegiate level?? Why are D2 athletes less than D1 in your eyes?? RIDICULOUS!
English
@NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA Women have had to fight for equity in about every aspect of our lives but who would have thought that in 2022 we still wouldn’t be receiving fair treatment in our sport? We work just as hard as anyone else yet are treated lesser than! DO BETTER!!
English
@NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA As a little girl you grow up wanting to play softball at Oklahoma City! But as a D2 athlete we don’t have a home for our softball championships to be played! We play where ever the bid is which is ridiculous! Why don’t we have an “Oklahoma City”??
English
@NCAASoftball @NCAADII @NCAA And D2 baseball has 8 days to compete! Since when are D2 athletes less than D1 athletes? Since when are women’s sports less important than men’s sports?? EVERY SINGLE ATHLETE no matter what sport or division needs rest and recovery in order to perform
