I may be wrong, but it doesn't seem to me that the issue has ever been about getting home late. I never read comments from people bringing Title IX litigation about their daughters getting home at 11:00 more often than the boys. The issue is always crowd size, exposure to college coaches and the prestige of playing on the "prime" basketball nights. Always.
If getting home late was the problem, they could simply start the games earlier. Yes, that would make logistical problems, but it could be done without too much difficulty.
Just my opinion.
