If the top coaches (and female ones, no less) think it's important to do this, who cares what some administrator thinks?

I understand this Rich but I'm sorry. This decision is coming from above them. Women coaches are all about improving there player as fast as possible which is selfish imo. They are not considering the overall women's game. Have you ever heard the saying; "why don't more women come out as fans to support women's basketball?" Here is a very small attempt to bring more women in. The senior committee is looking at it from a distance, addressing the women's game for tomorrow and beyond. Front line coaches are too close to the action to see the bigger picture here.
Hey, it may not work, but give them credit for trying. They are very smart too, bringing this up as a Title IX issue. Going against conventional thinking, you may need the backing of Title IX. I love the move.
