October 13, 2005 -- Indianapolis-- The NCAA will celebrate the 2005-06 athletic season as the 25th anniversary of several NCAA Women's Championships. The NCAA recognizes the following women's championships as those celebrating their 25th anniversary this athletic season: Division I and III women's field hockey; Division I, II and III women's cross country; Division I, II and III women's volleyball; Division I, II and III women's swimming; Division I, II and III women's basketball; National Collegiate women's gymnastics; Division I, II and III women's tennis; Division I women's golf; Division I women's lacrosse; Division I women's rowing; Division I and II softball; and Division I, II and III women's outdoor track.
Women's championships continue to evolve. In 1982, a souvenir program for the NCAA Division I women's basketball championship was $2.50 and 9,531 fans attended the event. In 2004, the Women's Final Four drew a sellout crowd of 28,210 in New Orleans. Nearly 600 media credentials were issued for the 2004 Women's Final Four and fans paid close to $150 a seat and $10.50 for a souvenir program. http://www.ncaasports.com/story/8960986 |
