Creating this podcast with Avery, Callie, and Abbie was not only a fun experience, but also one that really opened my eyes to how important these conversations are, especially when it comes to gender pay equity in sports. Even though we were all in different places for Easter, Zoom gave us the opportunity to collaborate in a way that felt natural and meaningful. It reminded me how powerful technology can be when used to bring people together for important conversations.What made this experience so special was the trust we had in one another. We each brought our own perspectives to the table, and there was a shared understanding that we could have honest, respectful conversations about a very real and often controversial issue. We touched on everything from how women’s sports can be a source of serious revenue to how athletes like Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers are helping to elevate visibility and change the narrative. We also discussed how NIL deals have created new and exciting opportunities for female collegiate athletes, helping to close some of the historical gaps in recognition and compensation.While we did experience a few minor hiccups with Avery’s internet, courtesy of some intense storms in Tuscaloosa, it honestly added to the joy of the experience. Nothing ever felt forced or overly polished, and that made our conversation feel even more genuine. At the heart of it, this podcast was about more than just debating what is right and wrong in our eyes. It was about shedding light on the real inequalities that still exist and creating space to imagine what equity could and should look like in the future of sports.
