Today’s historic vote by the NCAA Division I membership to create the Women’s Basketball Performance Fund is the culmination of decades of hard work by coaches with the support of the WBCA to grow our great game. Beginning with this year’s championship, the NCAA will tangibly recognize the teams that compete in the tournament for their success through future payments to their conferences and schools as it already does for the men.
The WBCA thanks the NCAA Board of Governors, the Division I Board of Directors, the Division I Women’s Basketball Oversight Committee, and President Charlie Baker and his staff for shepherding this proposal through the NCAA legislative process.
We celebrate this momentous victory.
