"Final Four: Women's Basketball Takes Center Stage"

The women's Final Four has grown exponentially, drawing a sellout crowd of 19,288 fans and becoming the most-watched women's semifinals in NCAA history. However, structural factors, from its timing and location to sponsorship and TV agreements, are holding the women's Final Four back. The most tangible limitation is the arena in which it is played, as every women's Final Four takes place in an NBA and/or WNBA arena. The women's and men's Final Fours are hosted on the same weekend in completely different locations, putting the women's tournament "up against the men's in every way, shape, or form."
