"Caitlin Clark: Breaking Records and Making History in NCAA Basketball"

Iowa's Caitlin Clark is on the verge of breaking NCAA Division I points record, but the NCAA's failure to acknowledge women's basketball history before 1982 has sparked controversy. Coaches and players from the pre-1982 era, including Lisa Bluder and Lynette Woodard, have been overlooked by the NCAA. The call is for the NCAA to correct its record-keeping and honor the contributions of these pioneers, as Clark's historic performances shed light on the rich history of women's basketball.
