The debate then was whether women's sports would be better positioned under the auspices of the NCAA, which had more money and greater perceived prestige as the men's sports governing body, or if would be better for women's sports to keep control with their own organization. The AIAW dissolved in 1982. And while it seems unlikely that a similar organization would come back, putting men's and women's sports under different governing bodies again, one thing we've witnessed in college sports is "never say never." There is a thought that the NCAA has always undervalued women's sports tournaments, including the mass packaging of TV rights, and has never marketed them in a way that could maximize their revenue potential. -- Mechelle Voepelwww.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/31903838/what-sec-big-12-shakeup-mean-college-basketballHard to imagine that happening (even if it were an advantage, which I don't see), but the threat of that might produce some leverage at a time when the NCAA is a lot less powerful.
