You are wise beyond your years. The AAU was responsible for womens college basketball until 1971 and the the AIAW (Association For Intercollegiate Athletics For Women) took over until 1982. 1982 was the first year that the NCAA had any responsibility or association with womens basketball at all. And now the NCAA is ignoring everything that happened before 1982 while trying to compare a record set by the mens basketball D1 team years before their womens basketball division even existed.
If it didn't happen before 1982, it doesn't exist.
The NCAA is trying to claim the record for consecutive wins by a womens D1 basketball team is 89 while completely ignoring all records of the same sport made or set before 1982. Well, I'm mad as hell and I'm just not going to take this anymore.
Womens basketball is my life.
