One Tuesday morning in late February, a fan in New York who logged into FanDuel’s online sportsbook would’ve found 33 men’s college basketball games listed to bet on and zero women’s games. That fan could place an online wager on some midmajor men’s contests, such as Western Illinois vs. Lindenwood, Troy vs. Texas State and Bowling Green vs. Eastern Michigan. However, no odds were listed for women’s games involving power conference programs like Arizona vs. Texas Tech or Iowa State vs. UCF.
