"NCAA Considers Changing Tournament Sites After Utah Women's Basketball Team Faces Terrible Racism"
After the Utah women’s basketball team faced racism near their hotel in Idaho and had to change locations, questions have arisen about the NCAA's selection of early-round tournament sites. The NCAA's current format, where top 16 seeds host games, has seen a significant rise in attendance and viewership, but concerns about logistics and potential changes have been raised. NCAA Vice President for Women’s Basketball Lynn Holzman has expressed interest in reviewing the championship format earlier than planned and evaluating the two-site regional format. Issues with hotel availability and distance from venues have also been highlighted, prompting discussions about potential changes in site selection processes.
