User:Jolesjamie12/NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament

The NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Tournament is a women's college basketball tournament held annually in the United States. The Women's Championship began in the 1981–82 season and is held every March. 2021 viewership went up significantly, According to Sports Media Watch, the first-round matchup between Tennessee and Middle Tennessee on ABC had the largest viewership of any women's first-round matchup since 2010, and the Sweet 16 had 66 percent more total audiences than in 2019. However, the assumption that women's basketball generates less money than men's basketball means that competitive balance has traditionally been a smaller priority in that sport than in the top level sports. As attempts to strengthen intercollegiate women's athletics continue, this becomes a major concern.
