The very next season the rule was changed to allow any two players to re-jump. Coincidence? I think not. Not sure when the NCAAW rule changed, but would imagine it was around the same time.

Here is the actual ruling on the Men's side.
A.R. 140. An official tosses the ball for the opening jump ball. Immediately after the ball is touched by the jumpers, A2 and B2 tie up the ball.
RULING: Since possession has never been established, the official
cannot use the alternating-possession arrow to award possession. An official shall conduct another jump ball.
Any two opposing players shall jump.
(Rule 6-3.5)
