Women outshine men in NCAA final TV viewership: For the first time, more people watched the NCAA women’s basketball final game than the men’s ...

Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership

South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.

During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.

John Calipari officially named head coach for Arkansas Razorbacks: Former University of Kentucky men's head basketball coach John Calipari is now officially ...

lex18.com/sports/report-john-calipari-finalizing-deal-to-be-arkansas-head-coach

Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari

John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.

The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.

Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.

This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.

South Carolina’s Coach Was Asked About Transgender Women In Sports — And Her Response Went Viral

huffpost.com/entry/south-carolina-coach-dawn-staley-transgender-women-in-sports_n_66145695e4b075175a5e07f3

Quick Glance: Decision on Participation of Transgender Athletes in U.S. Collegiate Sports

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has decided to exclude transgender women from competing in women's sports, taking a stricter stance than other athletic bodies.

As per the NAIA policy, only student-athletes whose biological sex is female may participate in women's sports.

Transgender athletes are required to have undergone testosterone suppression treatment for at least one year and to meet specific test results at different times of the year according to the NCAA policy.

Following transgender swimmer Lia Thomas's victory in the NCAA 500-yard freestyle championship after transitioning, a group of female athletes sued the NCAA, alleging that the participation policy for transgender athletes violated their civil rights under Title IX.
