I like how @Blair__Schaefer speaks the truth while calling her first game on @SECNetwork! She references her experiences as a player @HailStateWBK which puts her way ahead of the game as an analyst! Growing up a coaches kid doesn’t hurt either! @CoachVic_MSU.

It’s about time and WHY has it taken so long??? This is a No Brainer!! One down and plenty more inequities to sort out between the men and women in NCAA sports! #thetimeisnow.
The NCAA has made it official:. The D1 Women's Basketball Championship will use 'March Madness' branding, beginning with the 2022 tournament. March Madness marketing had previously only been associated with the men's tournament.
