The disparity is much larger on the women's side because doping has a much more dramatic effect on women in terms of percentage improvement than on men, so the undoped college records on the women's side (14:52 (:52 off outdoor wr)/30:50 (1:49)) are much further back than the men's undoped college records (12:57 (8s from indoor record, 22 from outdoor)/26:52 (39 seconds off)).

This is pretty much it. Doping is bad at the top of the sport and works better on women. There is doping in the NCAA though...

Who was the last NCAA middle distance/distance runner to be caught?
Any in the history of the NCAA?

Women who have it as a primary goal of being married before age 23 aren't worried about racing fast 10000m.
Very few women are married before 23 in the states lol.
Very few of the women seeking B.A./B.S. before age 23. There are plenty of U.S. females working girl Friday office jobs who are willing to marry before age 23.
Are we having a sociology debate? Gloria Steinem at one time was a paid C.I.A. asset, pro-abortion, journalist-Playboy bunny.
Now, she is an old women. Following that model doesn't make most women happy.

Don’t worry. The gap will shrink quickly in the next couple years once cross training on arc trainer becomes popular in the United States.
NCAA women are expected to jump several levels as pros. NCAA men aren’t really any more. So to me the doping argument doesn’t make a ton of sense. Think about this:
-If Valby improves marginally as a pro to a 14:42/30:32 runner, ultimately she’d be a fringe USA team member and back end of global finals (at best) runner
-If Nico improves marginally as a pro to a 12:49/26:35 runner he is in the hunt to win medals
So the disparity is women’s distance at the NCAA level is just behind domestically and internationally. This is not really the case in the 1500 and definitely not in the 800.

I agree. In a year, 2-3 women will be sub 14, sub 29.
4-5 others will probably be 14-14:10
AR might be 14:15 which could be ranked 15th at best by end of 2025
