Who is Sedona Prince? Oregon Ducks forward posts on 'sexism', forces NCAA to build weight room for women
Oregon's Sedona Prince has played a pivotal role in ensuring better workout equipment at the NCAA women's tournament. Earlier, she posted a video on Thursday, March 18, that showed a single set of dumbbells for student-athletes at the San Antonio tournament facilities. The footage went viral alongside images of a fully equipped gym at the men's tournament facilities at Indianapolis and called for equal treatment for men and women.

The results were immediate as the NCAA apologized for the discrepancy the following day and Saturday (March 20) saw a new weight room equipped with benches, free weights, racks, and cardio equipment. The Oregon Ducks player tweeted out a new video in celebration and thanked the NCAA. The video sees her provide a tour saying: "Guess what guys?" Prince said with a big smile on her face. "We got a weight room." She added: "Thank you NCAA for listening to us. We appreciate y'all. Thank you so much, for real."
