College women’s basketball is exploring ways to change the format of the NCAA tournament, including moving the Final Four back a week to avoid overlap with the end of the men’s tournament. In a survey given to the conferences and obtained by The Associated Press, the women’s basketball oversightcommittee laid out a few potential changes that wouldn’t take place until 2019, at the earliest. The date change would put the women’s Final Four on the same weekend as the Masters. The committee is asking the schools and conferences for feedback on several alterations, including having the opening round at 32 sites and having the second round and regionals played at the same location. Moving the Final Four back would add a bye week to the tournament schedule. “The survey has a variety of implications,” NCAA vice president for women’s basketball Anucha Browne said in a phone interview with the AP on Tuesday. “It’s an opportunity to see if the current format is where we should stay or look into doing something different. We want to talk to the practitioners on campus — the senior women’s associates, the coaches, we hope there is some feedback from the student-athletes. Student-athlete input is pretty important.” –ESPN, Read More
