Catlin Clark would struggle to start on a Division III Men's Basketball team. The physicality is just too much. And I say that as someone who has enjoyed watching the women's tourney this year.
Women's basketball teams practice against men because they can't find practice squad women good enough to challenge them So you have a group of intramural guys not even good enough to play D3 playing the best college women in the nation - and routinely beating them. Yes the women win scrimmages occasionally as well but trust me, not as often as the media wants you to believe.
It is a separate sport. No reason we can't enjoy both.
