A report released Tuesday by a law firm hired by the NCAA said that the organization had fallen short of its commitment to gender equality and recommended that the men’s and women’s basketball Final Fours be held at the same site.

In a scathing conclusion, the report said the NCAA had prioritized the Division I men’s basketball tournament “over everything else,” finding a glaring lack of equality between women’s basketball and the men.

The NCAA commissioned the review in March after criticism for not providing similar amenities to the teams in the men’s and women’s Division I basketball tournaments.
